Titus Wambua Masika

Dr. Titus Wambua Masika was recognized for his exemplary contributions to transforming agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions, where farming is often challenged by harsh climatic conditions. He is the founder of the Christian Impact Mission, a faith-based mission and development agency dedicated to empowering communities through innovative agricultural practices and holistic development approaches.

His transformative work is grounded in an innovative philosophy that emphasizes mindset change and an empowered worldview, encouraging communities to believe in their potential to thrive despite environmental challenges. This approach has sparked a farming revolution, beginning in Yatta and Masinga in Machakos County and Kwavonza in Kitui County. The remarkable success in these regions has inspired the replication of his methods in many other arid and semi-arid areas across Africa.

Dr. Titus is also credited with introducing sustainable water harvesting techniques, enabling communities to maximize scarce rainfall and store water for agricultural use. These practices have dramatically improved water, food, and nutrition security, while fostering economic empowerment through enhanced agricultural productivity.

Through his leadership and vision, Dr. Titus has not only improved livelihoods but has also become a continental example of how innovation and determination can overcome environmental limitations.
