Not for sale Mitheru Cluster: Small Group Members in a cluster meeting. All clusters are encouraged to be attending monthly cluster meetings. www .tist.org English Version As a reminder, TIST – Kenya is currently paying Small Groups in Mt. Kenya region. Clusters and Small Groups that are qualifying for payments are required to be punctual during the payments meetings. Each of the Small Groups receiving payments must send 2/3 of their members. Otherwise, they will not be paid. They must bring with them their Small Group SIM Card having registered it with M-Pesa.
Both SIM custodian and MPesa PIN custodian must be present during the payment meeting. All members of the group are required to have properly signed ‘Agreement to accept Small Group Payments through M-Pesa payments’ document. ENGLISH VERSION 2 86 TIST Clusters Receiving Payments this Month. Remember, It is important that your Small Group attend monthly cluster meetings. At cluster meetings, besides getting training and newly developed best practices that are working, you will get TIST updates. Small Groups that attend cluster meetings are given the first priority in quantification and in payments. At Cluster meetings, you will have the chance to share best practices with other Small Groups that can make a big difference to them. It will also be an opportunity to learn what other Small groups are doing and how they are overcoming their challenges. Here are names of the cluster receiving payments this month 1. Chung’ari 2.

It is time to plant more trees to replace those that dried because of drought and to reach our goals. It is important, therefore, to make sure that seedlings will be ready to be moved from the nursery and planted in the field. Seedlings first need to be prepared for the harsher conditions of the field. If seedlings have been properly looked after in a nursery, they may have received more water and shade than they will have once they have been planted.
Gradually reduce the watering and expose the seedlings to full sunlight during this month. Good seedlings for planting out have the following characteristics:
• The shoot should be twice the length of the roots or the pot.
• The stem should be strong and woody.
• The seedlings should have many thin roots in addition to the main roots.
• Many seedlings will achieve these characteristics two months after germinating. Transplanting When transplanting, make sure you do the following:
• Transport the seedlings in an upright position
• Mark out a circle with a diameter of 30 cm in the field
• Remove the topsoil and place in a pile.
• Remove the next soil layer to a depth of 30cm and place in a separate pile. It's Planting Season - Time to Plant Many More Trees!
• Put in a 5 cm layer of grass (dry grass in rainy season, fresh grass in dry season), (called mulching). Some groups add manure as well.
• Remove the seedling from the polythene bag. Do not break the earth-balls around the roots.
• Place the seedling in the hole.
• Replace the topsoil first, then the second soil layer.
• Some groups do not fill the hole completely, but leave a gap of a few cm. This helps the rainwater enter the hole and infiltrate the soil.
• Any remaining soil can be placed in a mound on the downhill side of the seedling. This will help trap any rainwater and divert it into the hole.
• Water the seedling.
Also remember that to give your seedling the best chance of survival you should plant the 3m - 4m apart. If you plant them closer together then the seedlings will not get all the water, light and soil nutrients they need because there is much competition. They will become weak and may die, so follow the best practice of a spacing of 3m - 4m. 30 cm Topsoil Subsoil 5cmr grass 30cm Any excess soil mounded on downslope side ENGLISH VERSION 4 We, the Small Groups of Kutete Cluster of Mara TSE are located in Narok South District, Narok County. It is almost one year since Kutete cluster started. Many of our Small Groups have successfully passed application process and are now being formally registered in TIST. We are grateful to our TSE Leaders, Dorothy Naitore and Jane Kanja. They have worked hard to train us and help us practice some of the TIST best practices. Further, they have been tirelessly working with the Cluster Leaders to train and form Small Group members. TIST program is gradually gaining acceptance and popularity in the area. At initial stages, farmers were skeptical. Some thought that by signing carbon credit selling contract, they would lose their land. Our Cluster leaders have worked hard to give right information about the contract and carbon credit business. Kutete Cluster in Mara TSE: We have done well so far. Many of our farmers have practiced Conservation Farming. From the look of things, we are expecting good harvest this year. Our Cluster is now encouraging each of the Small Group members to start practicing Conservation Farming. Our group members have started tree nurseries. A lot of the seedlings have been transplanted in our farms.
The surplus brings in additional income from selling them. This rainy season, we expect to increase the number of transplants in our farms. Attending Cluster meetings has benefited with many more training. Many of the farmers are now able to establish their own nurseries. Though we are challenged with water scarcity problems, we hope, through TIST we will learn and develop new ways of addressing the problem. Our vision is to achieve more than 30% crown cover of trees in our farms. TIST spirit lives on. ENGLISH VERSION 5 TIST is all inclusive. Young, old, women and men all working together, getting a chance to lead each other, in a most harmonious and respectful environment with a shared vision to transform lives. In recent times, many scholars have concluded that no development can be achieved by a single gender. In TIST family, I am impressed and wish to salute all women and men, old any young who are working hard for the success of farmers, local environment as well as global environment. We thank TIST for actively striving to increase women’s involvement in all aspects of the program. That is why all success is achieved whenever both men and women work collectively in any program especially our TIST. It is worth noting, women and men have different gifts, talents and even information, knowledge and experience and when given a chance, they all contribute positively and immensely in development. This is true in TIST. Through rotational and servant leadership, every member of a Small Group gets a chance to lead. People learn and share different ideas, gifts and talents in leadership. No one person bears the burden of leadership alone. Leadership is diversified and shared. This happens too, in our Cluster meeting. Leader, Co-leader and Accountability person rotate.
This makes sharing of responsibilities easier. People exchange their ideas and develop best practices in tree planting and conservation farming. This year, TIST has a goal of achieving big, fabulous “FIVE” goals around the world: 1. 25,000 more FARMERS joining TIST; 2. 10,000 more farmers practicing CF (FOOD); 3. 3 million additional trees (FOREST), 4. Ksh 2.1 billion raised to grow TIST and make it better (FUNDS), 5. FAST FORWARD: Supporting all TIST servants with necessary support such as reports, Action plans – to accelerate the vision. These are goals to better environment and quality of life for many. These are big goals, but, as the saying goes, ““Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean.” If we each take steps, we can achieve these goals and more! Make a plan with your Small Group and your cluster to work towards this vision, then take action. Plant more trees in your nurseries and on your farms. Tell your neighbors about TIST, and invite them to your cluster meeting. Protect your land near rivers by planting indigenous trees. Make compost manure and try Conservation Farming. God bless the men, women and the YOUTHS in TIST. Mara TSE: We are All Gender, All Ages, working together to achieve higher results. BY Ann C.
Masas ENGLISH VERSION 6 In Kutete, farmers have started their nurseries. Nurseries are either individual or group owned though most are individual. Prior to introduction of TIST in our areas, many farmers had little knowledge of nursery establishment and management. Through the Mazingira Bora Newsletter, we have gained considerable skills in establishing nurseries. We can now collect and harvest good seeds, propagate them and establish seedbeds. Some of the species being established include Casuarina equisetifolia, Grevillea robusta, avocado and acacia. These seedlings are propagated from the seeds which we collect locally. Sometimes we get them from the forest department. Nurseries within our homes use soil from our farms. Seedbeds mostly are bare ground due to water shortage for some farmers during dry season and as a means of conserving water. Some farmers sowed seed and rooted cuttings in polythene bags that were tied closed to preserve moisture. This method prevents water loss since condensed water vapor finally returns back into the soil. These conditions are also good for rooting of cuttings. Shading of nurseries is done mostly using grass. Irrigation water mostly comes from rivers and springs. These sources are also a far distance.
Another challenge most of us face is that polythene bags for young seedlings are not locally found. We use alternatives like UHT milk packets) and plastic containers. Economically these nurseries have contributed to improving members’ lives since they plant and sell extra seedlings area, often at Kshs 10 each. We request more training especially in pretreatment of seeds. Tree Nurseries:
Foundation For Farm Forest. By Wilson Mutai We, Emmanuel Small Group, TIST Number 2008KE 2343, joined TIST in March 2008. We are now 3 years old in TIST! Our groups has 7 members namely Mary Taiku, Mary Kathei, Loise Nderi, Charles Kamunya, Shemith Waithira, Pherister Wanjiku and Julius Mwai. We have been working together to help one another in establishing tree nurseries and preparing Conservation farming field. As a result, we have developed tremendously.
So far, we have planted 2,463 trees. Our Group received payments in January this year. We also belong to Mutii-ini Community Forest Association (CFA). We have established, together with other CFA groups more than 6,000 indigenous tree seedlings. Our two members of the groups have benefited from energy stove building seminar. They are now training us and other groups in our Karaba Cluster. As a result, 18 energy saving jikos have been constructed in our Cluster. Immanuel SG: Together, We Achieve More.
