Roots of Innovation: Women-led startup Cultivating Change in AgriTech

In Kenya's agricultural landscape, a revolution is taking root, spearheaded by two visionary women - Soinato and Priscilla, the driving forces behind Rhea. This dynamic startup is revolutionizing soil health management with innovative IoT sensors, empowering smallholder farmers to practice precision agriculture for sustainable and profitable crop cultivation. Fresh from completing a triumphant incubation period at Strathmore University’s @iBiz Africa Centre, Soinata and Priscilla emerged as shining stars of the Standard Chartered Women in Tech program. Their dedication and ingenuity earned them a significant milestone - a $10,000 seed capital injection, propelling their mission to extend assistance to even more farmers across the region. This is the story of two trailblazers, fueled by a passion for change and a commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of their community.
