<strong>Aon</strong> domestic package<br />

insurance cover<br />

We all value the sanctity of our homes. It is one place<br />

we feel most safe and it is also the last place we<br />

envision suffering of any kind of loss or damage.<br />

What if a raging storm destroyed not only your<br />

perimeter wall but also the contents of your house<br />

or worse still a fire guts down all your worldly<br />

possessions.<br />

This is where the domestic package policy comes in<br />

handy. The domestic package policy is tailor-made to<br />

ensure that you are not rendered destitute in these<br />

circumstances.<br />

The household insurance policy covers loss or<br />

damage as a result of theft, burglary, fire and related<br />

perils to residential buildings, whether owned or<br />

rented.<br />

It incorporates the insured personal liability and<br />

that of their house hold members. The policy also<br />

covers the cost and expenses that the insured incurs<br />

in the event of death of or injury or disease to their<br />

domestic servant arising out of and in the course<br />

of their employment as defined in the Work Injury<br />

Benefits Act.<br />

<strong>Aon</strong> crop insurance cover<br />

Crop and livestock farming in Kenya are exposed to<br />

many challenges which make it difficult for a farmer<br />

to realize their expected harvest. Some of the<br />

challenges the farmers go through are the need to<br />

plant the right seeds at the right time and place and<br />

using the correct type of fertilizer. However, others<br />

such as changes in weather patterns, excessive rainfall<br />

and drought, earthquakes, diseases, damage by wild<br />

animals, malicious damage, pests, death of animals<br />

etc. are beyond the control of farmers.<br />

In many instances, farmers do require credit from<br />

financial institutions so as to be able to buy farm<br />

input such as seeds, fertilizers, chemicals and farm<br />

implements among others. Farmers also need to buy<br />

chemicals, drugs, construction materials and the<br />

like. Financial institutions however, are not willing to<br />

avail credit to farmers unless they are assured that<br />

the farmer will be able to pay back the money even<br />

in the event of poor returns. Availability of insurance<br />

protection enhances loan repayment as the farmer<br />

is assured of repaying the credit using the amount<br />

paid in by the insurance company. Arrangements<br />

could also be made for the claim proceeds to be paid<br />

directly to the financial institution that extended<br />

credit to clear the outstanding amounts<br />

Did you know that In the event of the buildings being<br />

rendered uninhabitable by any of the perils specified<br />

above the Insurer will indemnify the Insured against:<br />

(if the building is yours)<br />

a. Reasonable additional expense for alternative<br />

accommodation<br />

b. Loss of rent payable to the Insured actually<br />

incurred during the period necessary for<br />

reinstatement of the Buildings
