The Asian and African Resilience in Disaster Insurance Scheme ( VisionFund ) has been set up to protect up to four million poor farmers -- mainly women -- and their families against natural disasters. The scheme, which covers droughts in Kenya , Malawi , Cambodia , Zambia and Myanmar , and tropical cyclones in Myanmar , is being run by VisionFund , the micro finance division of charity World Vision. For a small donation of S$60 a year, your help would make such a big difference. The charity provides loans at a time when other financing organisations may withdraw support. It's estimated 690,000 farmers will benefit from the scheme.
