How We Do It
In order to deliver our organizations products and services effectively the following processes are involved:
Seed collection-this is done locally by farmers. The hard to collect ones are obtained from the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI)
Partnership with manufacturing companies-these provide some of the products; water retainers, earth lee, EM1, molasses and anti termites.
Technical operations- this includes re-packaging, standardization and labeling of the products.
Professional expertise is needed in delivering of the organizations services.
The media which includes use of brochures, calendars, newspapers and the radio is used in advertisements, public training and community mobilization.
Organizing social events like eco-based competitions between primary and secondary schools plays a big role in community sensitization and education.
Network marketing is used for products distribution; individuals and groups are utilized. However our products in particular Moringa powder is soon getting into leading shopping malls, and supermarkets.
OUR WORKFORCE
Approximately 30 persons work for the organization whereby only 10 are permanently involved while the rest are part time workers and associates.
Workforce categoriesThe workforce is responsible all round for the activities in the organization. However, the organization is headed by 5 directors, who are the co-coordinators of the various activities in the organization. The various professionals include:
Motivation
Since all the stakeholders are people who came together with a common goal to better the environment, their attitude is the first motivator. Besides that, profits accruing from the sales are shared among the workforce. However, one of the office clerks is paid a salary. Allowances from various duties equally motivate and sustain the workforce. Members are also in a good position to develop environmentally through the organization.
SARES
SARES has won 3 TOTAL ECO- CHALLEGE awards for being the leading firm on tree planting in Kenya. This gained the confidence of customers and motivated us to work more.
