The Growth Trajectory of District 114
Our journey as Toastmasters in East Africa is quite exciting and phenomenal to document is such a short space. Stories have been told in tall tales, speeches given in club meetings that tell of every member’s journey within Toastmasters. Each story is our story.
We recognize members who have worked tirelessly to share the joy and impact of leadership and communication in their communities. We have done this together.
The data recorded here presents the records in Toastmasters International.

Distinguished Toastmaster*- The Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) award represents the highest level of educational achievement in Toastmasters.
Our History
The history of our district began in 2017-2018 year. This year East Africa, was a rewarding period for Toastmasters in the region as World Headquarters included the Territorial council of East Africa in its district reformation plan, we were graced by a visit from the then President of Toastmasters International – Balraj Arunasalam, DTM and, thanks to the unwavering support of Toastmasters across East Africa, we registered a growth of 100% in the number of clubs – from 17 active clubs in June 2017 to 34 clubs in 2018.
The best of East Africa Conference in Kigali Rwanda, held in May of 2017, heralds the first affirmation of 17 Chartered Clubs and 3 Prospective clubs which later chartered the following year to migrate East Africa from un-districted Toastmasters Territory to a Territorial Council.
Serving in the first Territorial Council leadership was Chair – Rozy Rana, DTM, Program Quality Director- Joshua Tahinduka, DTM and Club Growth Director – Harry Karanja, DTM. This team committed to expanding the knowledge of transition to District across East Africa together with passionate and committed club sponsors, mentors and coaches.
Members of Individual clubs pooled together to physically mobilize members of new clubs and committed their time and resources to grow others. These members went beyond their personal development journey to very noble and inspiring mission that was fundamental to the expansion of Toastmasters in East Africa Today. We are totally indebted to each one of them in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia.
