ENGLISH VERSION 2 T IST Kenya has been expanding rapidly reaching new areas. In the last four years (since 2013), 

TIST has expanded to Machakos, Nyamira, Trans-nzoia, Murang’a counties and recently to Makueni and Taita Taveta, counties. Working with a UK based law firm, Freshfields, TIST has established several Clusters. In Machakos, we are in Yatta. Currently, there are four (4) Clusters already formed, namely: Kakumini TIST Cluster, Kaluluini TIST Cluster, Mamba TIST Cluster and Ndalani TIST Cluster. In Nyamira, we have Ekerenyo TIST Cluster, Etono TIST Cluster, Gesura TIST Cluster, Kabirigo TIST Cluster, Matorola TIST Cluster, Ratera TIST Cluster, Sungoiga TIST Cluster and Riakimai TIST Cluster. In Trans-Nzoia, we have Kesogoni TIST Cluster, Munyaka TIST Cluster and Kapsara TIST Cluster. Through partnership with Taylors of Harrogate, an international tea and coffee buying company, we are working with tea farmers from 4 KTDA Tea Factories: Ngere and Makomboki in Murang’a County, as well as Kionyo and Imenti in Meru County. 

TIST Vision is to empower Small Groups members to reverse the devastating effects of deforestation, drought, and famine through identifying local sustainable development goals that include tree planting, sustainable agriculture, health education and nutrition.TIST also strives to provide long-term revenue for the Small Group participants through the sale of greenhouse gas credits (GhG). The individual growth of a Small Group is paramount. It is the desire of TIST to see each individual member of a Small Group reaps the TIST benefits that help raise their livelihoods and income. Through tree planting, a number of TIST farmers have reported to have earned more income or made household savings through selling of seedlings, fruits, firewood, fodder for livestock, honey, increased soil fertility and biodiversity plus improved water level in our streams. In practicing Conservation Farming, a significant number of farmers have witnessed increased crop harvest, more soil fertility, reduced soil erosion, less farm labour among other benefits. Health and nutrition education has helped many household take preventive measures against diseases and nutritional deficiency issues. Further, through TIST energy saving jiko, many families have made significant savings in wood fuel as well as in reducing indoor smoke pollution. Growth in your Small Group? Your Small Group should now sit down and evaluate its growth since joining TIST. How many trees have you planted? How many of those trees are fruit and indigenous? How many farmers in your group have practiced Conservation Farming? 

How were the results in comparison with conventional farming? How many members have TIST clean and energy saving jiko? Have any of your group members done a raised seed-bed? How are the results? What goals do you have for this coming rainy Growth in TIST: Is your Cluster and Small Group Growing? ENGLISH VERSION 3 season? What actions could you take that would provide big benefits to your Group members? How many additional trees are you going to plant? How many plots of CF are you preparing? How many raised-seeds and seedlings do you require for this coming rainy season and the next? What other goals do you have? Remember, for a Small Group to be profitable for its members, it should plant more than 5,000 trees within the first five years of joining TIST. Most TIST Small Groups have not achieved this goal, but many have. Please prepare your Small Group report and present to other groups in your next Cluster meeting.Ask for help and ideas from other Small Groups to improve your Action Plan for growth with goals (Conditions of Satisfactions - COS) Growth in your Cluster? At your Cluster meeting, please evaluate your growth as well. How many trees does your Cluster have? How many Small Groups have been registered? How many additional trees have been planted each year? How many CF plots have been done this and last season? How many farmers are doing CF, honey, riparian, fruit trees, stoves, raisedseed beds? What are your goals for this year? How many additional trees, CF, Energy saving stoves, raisedseed beds, fruit and indigenous trees? What other goals do you have? In Quantification, how many of your Small Groups have been quantified in the last 18 months? What are your plans to get every Small Group quantified within 18 months period? In Small Group payments, how many groups have received tree incentives? How many are qualifying for trees incentives having achieved more than 500 trees, have signed the GhG contract agreement form and have been quantified in the last 18 months? How many are not qualifying? What are the reasons for not qualifying? How are you going to help or encourage those not qualifying? What are your Conditions of Satisfactions / goals in Small Group payments? Cluster leaders are requested to work with your Cluster Servant to prepare a report and an Action Plan for growth with goals (Conditions of Satisfactions - COS) and present it in the next Cluster meeting and send it to the GOCC and the Leadership Council.

Help Wanted. Leadership Council Support Person. ENGLISH VERSION 4 M any Small Groups have been ask ing why they don’t get tree incen tives when their trees are less than 500. To begin with, tree incentives are prepayments for sale of carbon credits. It’s a business. In business, people work hard to get profits. Like in all businesses, to get profit, costs or expenses must be kept low, and sales high. When a Small Group has so few trees, the cost of quantification/ per tree goes up. The cost of paying such a group also is high. Importantly, the cost of validation, verification per tonne of carbon is also very high.Therefore, no profit can be made when the costs are high. We get a loss. In order to stay profitable in TIST and therefore earn good income for yourself and your Small Group, you should ensure your Small Group plants additional trees each planting season.TIST policy has recommended 5,000 trees as a reasonable number to get your Small Group to profitable levels in terms of carbon income and other trees benefits. Some Small Groups decry high tree We, TIST Kiriogo Cluster are happy to receive tree incentives. Kiriogo Cluster is in Laikipia region. We joined TIST in 2008 through the TIST Social Entrepreneurship (TSE) effort led by Jinarris Gachoya. In our last tree payments, twenty two (22) Small Groups received their payments.

Please discuss this tree nursery technique at your next Small Group weekly or Bi-weekly meeting as well as in your Cluster meeting and learn more ideas. ENGLISH VERSION 5 O n March 6 and 7, 2017,TIST Kenya was glad to receive visitors from Taylors of Harrogate, KTDA and Natural Capital Partners. Taylors and NCP are working in collaboration with TIST and Tea Farmers in selected Tea factories in helping the farmers earn more income through sale of carbon tonnes as well as improving their livelihoods. KTDA is an important stakeholder in this effort. Tea areas targeted and already doing TIST activities are Kionyo and Imenti Tea Factories in Meru County and

 Makomboki and Ngere Tea Factories in Murang’a. The visit included from Taylors Tea: Andy Brown, Managing Director of Taylors Tea, Mary Godfrey and Paul Cogan of the collaborative CEO team, Henry Boocock, a tea buyer and Joanne Gray who supports the collaborative CEO team. Mr Kithae Njeru, head of the KTDA Foundation, joined the group. Simon Brown, Managing Director, Natural Capital Partners joined the TIST team of Ben & Vannessa Henneke, Patricia Wachuka and Kimani Mwangi. Eunice Wambui, Dorothy Naitore and Jeniffer Kithure of the Leadership Council joined the meetings on the second day of the visit. On first day of the visit, 6th March, the team met at Makomboki Tea Factory and had brief introductions lead by Factory Unit Manager and the Vice Chairman of the factory. Later, the team proceeding for farm visits.The team visited a TIST grove in Kairitu area where a new TIST Farmer has planted new avocado trees totaling 126. The team later attended Gatiaini TIST Cluster meeting. Seventy two (72) new TIST members or people interested in joining TIST were in attendance. The visitors got a

 chance to interact freely with the farmers, and participate in TIST trainings at the Cluster meeting. They also visited a TIST farmer who has already built a raised tree nursery and a Conservation Farming (CF) plot, and later they visited a farmer in Kanderendu area who has done 9 horticultural crops, supported by a water project funded by Taylors. Other areas visited were Kanderendu secondary school and a TIST grove with 16 bee hives and a raised tree nursery. The second day of the visit involved a visit to Ngere Tea Factory. At the Factory, the visitors were taken through tea processing units/stages. Later, there were meetings in Factory premises when TIST did a

 presentation. A luncheon meeting allowed a very productive exchange of ideas between the members of the Taylors Collaborative CEOs and the TIST Leadership Council members.

ENGLISH VERSION 6 H and washing with soap is among the most effective and inexpensive ways to prevent diarrheal diseases and pneumonia, which together are responsible for the many child deaths in Kenya. Hands often act as vectors that carry diseasecausing pathogens from person to person, either through direct contact or indirectly via surfaces. 

Humans can spread bacteria by touching other people’s hand, hair, nose, and face. Hands that have been in contact with human or animal feces, bodily fluids like nasal excretions, and contaminated foods or water can transport bacteria, viruses and parasites to unwitting hosts.

 Hand washing with soap works by interrupting the transmission of disease. Washing hands with water alone is significantly less effective than washing hands with soap in terms of removing germs. Effective hand-washing with soap takes 8 - 15 seconds, followed by thorough rinsing with running water. Critical times in hand washing with soap Here are some critical times to clean your hands: 1. Before and after meals and snacks 2. Before caring for young children 3. After touching a public surface. 4. Before and after preparing food, especially raw meat, poultry, or seafood 5. After using the restroom 6. When hands are dirty 7. After touching animals 8. When you or someone around you is ill Awareness of hand washing with soap Hand washing is likely to be especially important where people congregate (schools, offices, church, meetings), where ill or vulnerable people are concentrated (hospitals, nursing homes), where food is prepared and shared and in homes, especially where there are young children and vulnerable adults. A simple facility for washing hands after visiting toilet The simplest facility is just to have a small jerry can filled with water placed outside latrines. Soap should also be provided. However, this method is not ideal as people have to touch the jerry can before and after washing their hands which can still spread germs. An alternative hand-washing facility can be made like this: 

1. Make a simple wooden frame with a nail in the middle for a peg. 2. Make a soak pit for the waste water by digging a hole around the frame and filling it with stones.This will let the waste water drain away into the soil. 3. Get one big open container (a barrel or cutopen jerry-can) and fill it with water. 4. Find a smaller open container, like a cut-open water bottle. 5. Make a small hole in the bottom of this container and fix a handle to it. 6. Dip the small container into the larger one to fill it with water. 7. Hand the small container on the peg so that the water starts to drip through the hole like a tap. 8. Wash your hands with soap. The advantage of this system is that you only touch the small container once to fill it with water. Hygiene & Sanitation: Hand washing.

KISWAHILI VERSION 2 T IST Kenya imekuwa ikipanuka haraka kufikia maeneo mapya. Katika muda wa miaka minne iliyopita (tangu 2013),TIST imeenea hadi kaunti za Machakos, Nyamira, TransNzoia, Murang’a na hivi karibuni itakuwa katika kaunti za Makueni na Taita Taveta. Kwa kufanya kazi na kampuni ya kisheria ya Freshfields iliyo nchini Uingereza, TIST imeweza kuvianzisha imeanzisha Cluster kadhaa. Katika Machakos, sisi tuko Yatta. Hivi sasa, kuna Cluster nne (4) tayari zilizoundwa ambazo ni: Kakumini TIST Cluster, Kaluluini Cluster TIST, Mamba Cluster TIST na Ndalani Cluster TIST. Katika Nyamira, tuna Ekerenyo TIST Cluster, 

Etono Cluster TIST, Gesura Cluster TIST, Kabirigo Cluster TIST, Matorola Cluster TIST, Ratera Cluster TIST, Sungoiga Cluster TIST na Riakimai Cluster TIST. Katika Trans-Nzoia, Tuna Kesogoni TIST Cluster, Munyaka Cluster TIST na Kapsara Cluster TIST. Kwa ushirikiano na Taylors of Harrogate, campuni ya kimataifa ya kununua chai na kahawa, tunafanya kazi na wakulima wa chai kutoka viwanda vinne vya chai vya KTDA, ambazo ni: Ngere na Makomboki ndani ya kaunti ya Murang’a, pamoja na Kionyo na Imenti katika kaunti ya Meru. Maono ya TIST ni ya kuwawezesha wanachama wa vikundi vidogo kubadilisha madhara ya ukataji wa miti, ukame, na njaa kwa kutambua malengo ya visingi vya maendeleo endelevu ambayo ni pamoja na kupanda miti, kilimo endelevu, elimu ya afya na lishe. TIST pia inajitahidi kutoa mapato ya muda mrefu kwa ajili ya washiriki wa vikundi vidogo kupitia mauzo ya mikopo gesi chafu (Greenhouse Gas credits (GHG)). Ukuaji binafisi wa vikundi vidogo una muhimu mkubwa. Ni hamu ya TIST kuona kila mmoja wa wanachama wa vikundi vidogo wakivuna faida za TIST ili kusaidia kuongeza maisha yao pamoja na mapato yao. Kwa kupanda miti, idadi kubwa ya wakulima wa TIST wametuarifu kuwa wameyapata mapato zaidi au waliweka akiba nyumbani kwa njia ya kuuza miche, matunda, kuni, chakula cha mifugo, asali, kuongeza rutuba ya udongo na viumbe hai pamoja na kuboresha viwango vya maji katika mito yetu. Katika mazoezi ya utunzaji wa shamba, idadi kubwa ya wakulima imeshuhudia kuongezeka kwa mavuno ya mazao, uzazi zaidi wa udongo, mmomonyoko wa udongo kupunguzwa,

kazi shambani kupunguzika pamoja na faida nyingine. Afya na lishe elimu imesaidia wengi nyumbani kuchukua hatua za kujizuia dhidi ya magonjwa na masuala ya lishe pungufu. Zaidi ya hayo, kupitia jiko la TIST la kuhifadhi nishati, familia nyingi zimeweza kufanya akiba kubwa kwa kuni na pia katika kupunguza uchafuzi wa mazingira kupitia moshi. Je, kuna ukuajai katika kikundi chako kidogo? Vikundi vyenu vidogo sasa lazima viketi chini na kutathmini ukuaji wake tangu kujiunga na TIST. Je, ni miti mingapi imepandwa?Je, katika miti hiyo, mingapi ni ya matunda na asilia? Ni wakulima wangapi katika kikundi chenu wanafanya mazoezi na kilimo hai? Matokeo yalikuwa vipi yakilinganishwa na yakilimo cha kawaida? Ni wanachama wwangapi wana jiko la kuhifadhi nishati la TIST? Je, kuna mwanachamayeyote wa kikundi chako ambaye amejaribu kukulia mbegu-kitanda? Matokeo ni ya aina gani? Ukuaji katika

Msaada Unatakikana. Msaidizi wa Uongozi wa Baraza. Mna malengo yepi ya msimu huu wa mvua unaokuja? Ni hatua gani ambazo zinaweza kuchukuliwa kutoa faida kwa wanachama wa kikundi chako?Mnaenda kupanda miti ngapi ya ziada? Mmeandaa viwanja vingapi vya CF? Ni mbegu ngapi za kukulia na miche zinahitajika katika msimi ujao wa mvua na utakaofuata? Mna malengo mengine gani? Kumbuka, ili kikundi kidog cha TIST kiwe na faida kwa wanachama wake, ni lazima wapande miti zaidi ya 5,000 ndani ya miaka mitano ya kwanza ya kujiunga na TIST. Vikundi vingi vya TIST havijaweza kufanikia lengo hili, lakini wengi wameweza. Tafadhali andaa taarifa yako ya kikundi kidogo ili uweze kuiwasilisha kwa vikundi vingine katika mkutano ujao wa Cluster. Unaweza kuomba msaada na mawazo kutoka kwa vikundi vingine vidogo ili kuboresha mpango wako kwa ajili ya ukuaji wa uchumi na malengo (Masharti ya Kuridhisha

 – (Conditions of Satisfactions (COS)). Kuna ukuaji wowote katika Cluster? Katika mkutano wako wa Cluster, tafadhali tathmini ukuaji wako pia. Cluste yako ina miti mingapi?Ni vikundi vingapi vidogo vilivyoandikishwa? Ni miti mingapi ya ziada iliyipandwa kila mwaka? Ni viwanja vingapi vya CF vimefanyika katika huu msimu na uliopita? Ni wakulima wangapi wanafanya CF, asali, kandokando ya mto, miti ya matunda, majiko, vitanda vya kukulia mbegu? Malengo yako kwa mwaka huu ni yepi? Ni miti mingapi ya ziada, CF, majiko sanifu ya kuhifadhi nishati, vitanda ya kukulia mbegu, matunda na miti ya asili? Una malengo gani mengine? Katika upimaji, ni idadi ipi ya vikundi vidogo vilivyokaguliwa katika miezi 18 iliyopita? Una mipango ipi ili kuhakikisha kwamba vikundi vyote vidogo vimekaguliwa ndani ya kipindi cha miezi 18? Katika malipo ya vikundi vidogo,ni vikundi vingapi ambavyo vimepokea motisha ya miti?Ni vikundi vingapi ambavyo vimefuzu kupata motisha ya miti kwa kuwa na miti zaidi ya mia tano (500), vimetia saini fomu ya mkataba wa maelewano wa GhG na vimekaguliwa katika miezi kumi na nane (18) iliyopita? Ni vikundi vingapi ambavyo havijafuzu? Sababu za kutofuzu ni zipi? Wewe utawasaidiaje na kuwatia moyo waliokosa kufuzu? Je masharti ya kuridhika kwako ni yepi? Malengo ya malipo katika kikundi kidogo ni yepi? Viongozi wa cluster wanaombwa kufanya kazi na watumishi wao ili kuandaa ripoti na Mpango Kazi kwa ajili ya ukuaji na malengo (Masharti ya Kuridhisha

 – (Conditions of Satisfactions (COS)) na waziwasilishe katika mkutano ujao wa Cluster na pia waitume kwa GOCC na Baraza la Uongozi. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 S isi, Cluster ya TIST ya Kiriogo tunayo furaha kwa kupokea motisha ya miti. Cluster ya Kiriogo iko katika eneo la Laikipia. Tulijiunga na TIST mwaka wa 2008 kwa njia ya TIST Social Entrepreneurship (TSE) juhudi zilizoongozwa na Jinarris Gachoya. Katika malipo yetu ya mwisho miti, vikundi vidogo ishirini na mbili (22) viliyapokea malipo yao. Wajumbe wa Cluster ya TIST ya Kiriogo wakionyesha hati zao za malipo ya miti wakati wa mkutano wao wa Cluster. Cluster ya TIST ya Kiriogo: Ni furaha yetu kuyapokea malipo. T IST: Kwa nini wanakikundi wanapaswa kuwa miti zaidi ya 500 kuhitimu kwa ajili ya malipo Vikundi vingi vidogo vimekuwa vikiuiza ni kwa nini hawapati motisha ya mti wakati miti yao ni chini ya mia tano (500). Kwa kuanzia, motisha ya mti ni malipo ya kabla kwa ajili ya mauzo ya kadi za kaboni. Ni biashara. Katika biashara, watu hufanya kazi kwa bidii ili kupata faida. Kama katika biashara zote, kupata faida, gharama lazima iwekwe chini, na mauzo yawe ni ya juu. Wakati kikundi kidogo kinamiti michache, gharama ya upimaji / kwa mti huenda juu. Gharama ya kulipa kama kikundi pia ni ya juu. Muhimu sana, gharama ya uthibitisho, uthibitisho kwa tani ya kaboni pia huwa ni ya juu sana. Kwa hivyo, hakuna faida zinaweza kufanywa wakati gharama ni juu. Sisi hupata hasara. 

Ili kuendelea kuwa na faida katika TIST na kwa hivyo kupata mapato mazuri kwa ajili yako mwenyewe na wanakikundi, lazima uhakikishe kuwa kikundi kidogo kinapanda miti ya ziada kila msimu wa kupanda. Sera za TIST zimependekeza miti elfu tano (5,000) na idadi ya kuridhisha ya kupata wanakikundi na viwango vya faida katika suala la mapato ya kaboni na miti mingine ya faida. Baadhi ya vikundi vilisema kwamba vifo vya miti ni sababu ya kutokuwa na miti mingi. Wakulima wa TIST wametambua, kupima na wameonelea kuwa kuinua kitalu cha miti husaidia kwa kiasi kikubwa katika kusaidia miche yako kuishi mara moja baada ya kupanda katika shamba lako. Tafadhali jadili suala hili la vitalu vya miti katika mikutano ya kila wiki, baada ya wiki mbili na pia katika mikutano ya Cluster na mjifunze mawazo zaidi. TIST: Kwa nini kikundi chako kidogo kinapaswa kuwa na miti Zaidi ya 500 ili kuhitimu kuyapata malipo? KISWAHILI VERSION 5 M namo tarehe Machi 6 na 7, 2017,TIST Kenya ilikuwa na furaha ya kuwapokea wageni kutoka Taylors of Harrogate, KTDA na Natural Capital Partners. Taylors na NCP wanashirikiana na TIST an wakulima wa chai katika viwanda vilivyochaguliwa kusaidia wakulima kupata mapato zaidi kupitia mauzo ya tani ya kaboni pamoja na kuboresha maisha yao. KTDA ni wadau muhimu katika jitihada hizi. Maeneno ya chai maeneo yaliyolengwa na tayari yanafanya shughuli za TIST ni viwanda vya chai vya Kionyo na Imenti Factories Tea katika kaunti ya Meru County na viwanda vya chai vya Makomboki na Ngere katika kaunti ya Murang’a. Ziara ilikuwa kutoka Taylors Tea:Andy Brown, Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Taylors Tea, Mary Godfrey na Paulo Cogan wa timu ya ushirikiano ya Wakurugenzi Watendaji, Henry Boocock, mnunuzi chai na Joanne Gray ambaye anasaidia ushirikiano ya Wakurugenzi Watendaji. Mr Kithae Njeru, mkuu wa KTDA Foundation, alijiunga na kundi pia. Simon Brown, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Natural Capital Partners alijiunga na timu ya TIST ya Ben na Vannessa Henneke, Patricia Wachuka na Kimani Mwangi. Eunice Wambui, Dorothy Naitore na Jeniffer Kithure wa Baraza la Uongozi walijiunga na mikutano siku ya pili ya ziara hiyo. Katika siku ya Kwanza ya ziara, mnamo Machi tarehe sita, timu ilikutana katika kiwanda cha chai cha Makomboki ambapo walikuwa na vitambulisho vifupi vilivyoongozwa na Meneja wa kitengo cha kiwanda na naibu wake. Baadaye, timu ya iliendeleza ziara yao ya mashamba.

Timu ilitembelea shamba la TIST lililo katika eneo la Kairitu ambapo mkulima mpya wa TIST alikuwa amepanda miti takriban mia moja na ishirini na sita ya miparachichi. Timu hiyo baadaye ilihudhuria mkutano wa Cluster ya TIST ya Gatiaini. Watu sabini na wawili (72) walionesha nia ya kujiunga na TIST pia walihudhuria. Wageni walipata nafasi ya kuingiliana kwa uhuru na wakulima, na kushiriki katika mafunzo ya TIST katika mikutano ya Cluster. Pia walimtembelea mkulima wa TIST ambaye tayari alikuwa ashajenga kitalu cha kukulia miti na ploti ya Kilimo Hai (Conservation Farming (CF)), na baadaye walimtembelea wakulima katika eneo la Kanderendu eneo aliyefanya mazao tisa ya maua, akipewa usaidizi na mradi wa maji unafadhiliwa na Taylors. Maeneo mengine yaliyotembelewa yalikuwa shule ya sekondari ya Kanderendu na kichaka cha TIST kilichokuwa na mizinga kumi na sita ya nyuki na kitalu cha kukulia miti. Siku ya pili ya ziara iliyojumlishakuzuru kiwanda cha chai cha Ngere. Huko kiandani, wageni walichukuliwa kwa vitengo vya usindikaji chai / hatua. Baadaye, kulikuwa na mikutano katika majengo ya Kiwanda ambapo TIST walifanya uwasilishaji.Mlo ulioandaliwa uliruhusu kubadilishana na uzalishaji mzuri wa mawazo kati ya wanachama wa Taylors Collaborative CEOs na Baraza la Uongozi lawanachama wa TIST.

KISWAHILI VERSION 6 K uosha mikono kwa sabuni ni njia moja iliyo katika njia bora na zenye gharama nafuu zaidi katika kuzuia magonjwa ya kuhara na nimonia, ambazo pamoja husababisha vifo vya watoto wengi katika Kenya. Mikono mara nyingi hubeba vijidudu kutoka kwa mtu mmoja hadi kwa mwingine, kupitia kuguzana au kupitia kuguza mahali. Watu wanaweza kutambaza bacteria kupitia kuguza mikono, nywele, pua na nyuso za wengine. Mikono ambayo imeguza mavi ya mtu au mnyama, maji ya mwili kama makamasi na vyakula ama maji yaliyochafuka hubeba bacteria, virusi na vijidudu vinavyobeba magonjwa. Kuosha mikono kwa sabuni husaidia kupitia kuhinikiza uambukizaji wa ugonjwa. Kuosha mikono kwa maji pekee husaidia kidogo kuliko kuosha kwa sabuni kwa upande wa kutoa vidudu. Uoshaji mikono ulio bora ni kwa sabuni na kwa muda wa sekunde nane kufika kumi na tano, kukifuatiliwa na kusuuza na maji yanayomwagika. Wakati muhimu sana wa kuosha mikono kwa sabuni Zifuatazo ni saa muhimu za kuosha mikono yako: 

1. Kabla na baada ya kula vyakula na vitafunio 2. Kabla ya kuwatunza watoto wadogo 3. Baada ya kuguza maeneo ya umma. 4. Kabla na baada ya kutayarisha vyakula, sanasana nyama, kuku au vyakula vya kutoka baharini 5. Baada ya kutumia choo 6. Wakati mikono ni chafu 7. Baada ya kuguza wanyama 8. Wakati wewe au mtu aliye karibu nawe ni mgonjwa Usafi : Kuosha mikono. Utambuzi wa uoshaji mikono kwa sabuni Uoshaji mikono unawezekana kuwa muhimu zaidi wakati watu wanakutana (shuleni, maofisini, makanisani, mikutanoni), ambapo wagonjwa wapo (hospitalini, maskani ya ulezi), mahala chakula kinatayarishiwa na kugawanwa na manyumbani, sanasana walipo watoto wadogo na watu wazima wagonjwa. Kituo cha kuoshea mikono baada ya kwenda choo kilicho rahisi kutengeneza Kituo rahisi zaidi ni kuwa ni kuwa na mkebe uliojaa maji nje ya choo. Sabuni yapaswa kuwepo. Hata hivyo, njia hii si nzuri sana kwani watu watahitaji kushika kibuyu kabla na baada ya kuosha mikono jambo ambalo bado litasambaza vidudu. Njia badala ya kuosha mikono ni kufanya kituo kama ifuatavyo: 

1. Tengeza sura ya mbao iliyo na msumari katikati wa kushikilia pegi. 2. Tengeza shimo la kuchukua maji machafu kwa kuchimba shimo likizunguka sura na kulijaza mawe. Hili litaruhusu maji kuingia mchangani. 3. Chukua mkebe mkubwa uliofunguka juu (pipa au kibuyu kilichokatwa) na ukijaze maji. 4. Tafuta mkebe mdogo zaidi uliofunguka juu, kama chupa ya maji iliyokatwa. 5. Toboa shimo upande wa chini wa mkebe huu na huongeze mkono wa kuushika. 6. Ingiza mkebe mdogo kwa ule mkubwa ili kuujaza maji. 7. Tundika mkebe mdogo kwa pegi ili maji yaanze kutoka kidogo kidogo kupitia shimo kama kwa tapu ya maji. 8. Osha mikono yako kwa sabuni. Ubora wa njia hii ni kuwa unaguza mkebe mdogo mara moja pekee kuujaza maji.
