Our teamwork embraces honesty; accountability and transparency while serving each other and ensuring the things we do are accurate. Coupled with servant and rotational leadership has made our Cluster grow stronger. Our leadership, along with the spirit of volunteerism and helping each other has borne fruits. We have established a giant seedlings nursery that currently has many different species including Molinga oleifera, Makandamia, Gravellia, Mukwego, Mwiria, Mutuntu, Mango, Agricapasy, Avocado, Croton megalocarpus,Acacia, Minguani, Mukui and Miahangua seedlings. Today, we have over 6,000 seedlings undergoing care at the Cluster nursery. Some of the seedlings will be planted along the nearby river in order to improve the quality and quantity of water. Our goal is to plant more than 10,000 trees this year and plan to establish another tree nursery for the October rains. Kirubia Cluster members tending their tree nursery. Kirubia Cluster - TIST has taught us self-reliance. Prepared by Festus Mutegi Our nursery is situated along the Naka stream near Chuka Town.This is a good site because other farmers interested in buying seedlings have easier access. Our Cluster meets twice per month. One meeting is held at the Cluster venue during monthly Cluster meeting, while the other is held at the Cluster tree nursery. We have incorporated the support of the local administration.
Our Cluster Servant, Festus Mutegi, has played an important role in organizing and teaching us about the TIST Values and Best Practices. Going forward, we plan to include other activities in our Cluster, such as starting a table banking, which is a micro finance that allow people to save and borrow money. We also would like a commercial tree nursery to supplement our table banking efforts. Another goal is to obtain registration with the Department of Social Services to gain legal status and be able to trade using our Cluster name as a legal entity. ENGLISH VERSION 3 T IST groups do a lot of practical activities like planting trees and improving agricultural techniques.When there is a lot of work to be done, it is good to create Action Steps. Each group member should tell the group what they are going to achieve that week. TIST will teach you and your Small Group how to do Action Planning. Please share this with other members of your Small Group during your meeting. An action step is something that is:
• Specific
• Observable (a fly on the wall can see you do it!)
• Measurable
• Has a beginning and an end
• Make sure your action step is realistic and that you can achieve it! For example, saying ‘I will plant trees’ is not an action step because it is too general.‘I will work on three mornings this week to transplant 75 seedlings into our new grove’ is an Action Step because it is specific (transplant 75 seedlings), observable (people can see you do it), measurable (75 seedlings, 3 mornings) and has a beginning and an end (at the end of three days you can see the results). When your Small Group meets again, allow ten minutes near the end of the Small Group meeting for each person to report on his or her Action Step. Each person quickly: (1) Tells the group what their action step was for the past week. (2) States what they actually did. (3) States what action step they will take for the following week. If the person succeeded in his or her Action Step, the group celebrates the success. If, as often happens to start with, the group member met only part of his goal, the group encourages him / her and does not criticize or blame. When people are able to freely share their successes and failures they will be encouraged to do better each week. Encourage your Small Group members to think of possible Action Steps. Make sure each is specific, measurable and realistic!
Share and celebrate the action steps that your Small Group has accomplished. Action Steps for Action Planning A similar method can be used when Action Planning. When your group is planning what to do, make sure your plans are: Specific (Our TIST Small Group will plant 1000 trees at the local hospital by November 30) Measurable (How many? - 1000 trees will be planted) Achievable/Realistic (Our TIST Small Group can plant 1000 trees in 5wks – 100 trees each Tuesday and Thursday, 10 trees per person/per day) Time-bound (Has a beginning and an end - we will plant the trees between October 15 to November 30) Observable (A fly on the wall can see us planting) SMARTO! This is the guide and test of your Action Steps for your plan and helps you be specific: 1) What – (Planting 1000 trees) 2) Who – (TIST Small Group members by name) 3) When – (October 15 – November 30) 4) Where – (At the hospital) 5) How – (We meet every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon after the heat of the day and dig holes, then plant the trees) 6) Why – (To improve the area around the hospital, have more shade for patients and visitors, people can sit under trees and the shade will make the hospital cooler) Practice Action Planning at your next Small Group meeting!

She joined TIST in 2013 together with five other members; Benedertah Mwikali, Esther Ndila, Flotena Ndungwa, Monicah Kanini, and Morah Mwethya Kimoyu. They joined TIST after realizing there are many good things in the world one can do to help herself, our neighbors, the local community and even our global community.
One such thing is combating Climate Change. Hence, they named their Small Group, “ Undu ti Umwe” loosely translated,“Life is not about one thing.” Christine has become an outstanding member not only for her Small Group but also for the entire TIST region of Mbeere. She has embraced TIST fully, making all efforts to plant trees, practice conservation farming, volunteering in leadership and above all reminding members about TIST Values. Moreover, Christine trains other women in TIST on income generating activities. She teaches and demonstrates on preparation of soaps and detergents.This has not only improved cleanliness and sanitation in the households, but many of her beneficiaries are now earning income from the sale of these detergents. We, in TIST, celebrate her and we are very proud of her work. Christine Ndinda, a dedicated TIST member. TIST Small Group Undu Ti Umwe Cluster embraces. Best Practices to gain more. ENGLISH VERSION 5 S imon Gichuki is a TIST farmer and belongs to Muteithia Small Group, TIST number 2008KE2153. He is in Burguret Cluster, Narumoro Region. When Cluster Servant, Eunice Wambui, visited his farm she found Simon planting more trees. During this day, Simon had planted 60 new trees in his farm, which adds to the over 500 trees on his small shamba. Simon got interested with Conservation Farming after attending a Cluster meeting where the topic was taught and said,“ I decided to try it. I was skeptical at the beginning but still decided to give it a try. I was amazed when I watched my maize do so well, even when the rains were scarce. I harvested 2 bags of maize from a ¼ acre. This was incredible!” says Simon. From this harvest, Simon became a “Conservation Farming Ambassador” in his Cluster. He encourages other farmers to try and practice Conservation Farming especially in their dry region of Naromoro where rains are scarce and unpredictable. This season, Simon crop looks more productive. Simon Gichuki inspecting his CF maize plot. “I have practiced Conservation Farming and the harvest was great”, says Simon Gichuki.
ENGLISH VERSION 6 A fter the harvest, do not burn the crop residues. Instead, leave them on the ground. The more residues left on the ground the better because they enrich the soil, making it more fertile. A layer of crop residue around the bottom of trees and seedlings will help increase the amount of moisture in the soil which prevents trees from getting too dry. Remember that crop remainders can also be used for compost manure. - Try to stop animals from grazing on the area. If they graze there will be less crop remainders left covering the ground. - Conservation farming holes have to be dug before the rains come. It is therefore vital to start digging them early. - Mark out where you are going to dig your holes, and get a long piece of rope or string and squeeze bottle tops on to it 70cm apart. Stretch the rope across the width of your field. Each bottle top marks the centre of a hole and makes sure that the holes are correctly spaced out. Mark out the rows of holes using a hoe. Each row should be 90cm apart. Just mark out the rows and holes you think can be completed that day. - On the same day as you mark a block of holes, dig the holes.The holes need to be oblong. They should be between 15cm wide, 35cm long and 15cm deep. - When you are ready to plant the grain, it is important to put some very fertile soil into the holes to help the crop to be stronger. Take some manure and good topsoil and mix it together, or use compost manure. Fill the hole with the mixture up to 5cm from the surface. That space will help capture more rain. - If you are planting maize, soak the seeds in some water for 6-7 hours before planting them.This speeds up germination and ensures that more will survive. When you plant the seeds, plant 4 seeds in the soil across the hole. Cover them with 2.5cm of the rich soil and manure mixture. After this, the soil in the hole should be about 2.5cm below the surface of the field. It should never be more than this. Clods (big lumps of soil) should always be broken up so that the soil makes good contact with the seed. - If you are planting sorghum, plant 5-6 seeds at each end of the planting hole after a good shower of rain. Cover the seeds with 2.5 cm of the rich soil and manure mixture. - The space at the top of the hole enables water to get to the plants when the rains come.
Without this space the rain will just run off the land, taking a lot of the soil nutrients with it. - Weed around the holes regularly and each year you will find there will be fewer and fewer weeds. - Don’t be discouraged! Digging the holes now will mean they are ready for this year and you will not have to dig them next year. How to practice Conservation Farming.

Page 6 Ndani ya gazeti: KISWAHILI VERSION 2 Kirubia Cluster members tending their tree nursery. K usoma kuhusu maadili ya TIST na kuyafuatilia ni moja ya faida muhimu zaidi tu tunazopata kutokana na TIST. Kufanya kazi pamoja hukumbatia ukweli; uwajibikaji na uwazi tunapotumikiana na kuhakikisha mambo tunayofanya ni sahihi. Pamoja na utumishi na uongozi wa mzunguko, haya yamefanya cluster yetu kuwa yenye nguvu zaidi. Uongozi wetu, pamoja na pepo la kujitolea na kusaidiana kumezaa matunda. Tumeanzisha kitalu kikubwa cha miche ambacho kwa sasa kina miti ya aina mbalimbali pamoja nayo miche ya aina ya Molinga oleifera, Makandamia, Gravellia, Mukwego, Mwiria, Mutuntu, Mango, Agricapasy, Avocado, Croton megalocarpus, Acacia, Minguani, Mukui na Miahangua Leo, tuna zaidi ya miche elfu sita inayohudumiwa katika kitalu cha cluster yetu. Baadhi ya miche itapandwa kando yam to uliopo karibu ili kuboresha na kuongeza maji. Lengo letu ni kupanda zaidi ya miti elfu kumi mwaka huu na tunapanga kuanzisha kitalu kingine cha miti mvua wa mwezi wa kumi inapoanza. Kitalu chetu kipo kando yam to mdogo wa Naka karibu na mji wa Chuka. Hapa ni pahali pazuri kwa sababu wakulima wengine walio na nia ya kununua miche wataweza kuifikia kwa urahisi. Cluster yetu hukutana mara mbili kila mwezi. Mkutano mmoja hufanywa mahali pa mkutano wakati wa mkutano wa kila mwezi wa cluster, huku mkutano mwingine huwa palipo kitalu cha miti cha cluster,
Tumeshirikisha usaidizi wa utawala katika eneo letu. Mtumishi katika cluster yetu, Festus Mutegi, amefanya kazi muhimu sana ya kupangia na kutufunza kuhusu maadili ya TIST na njia bora zaidi za kufanya shughuli mbalimbali. Kuendelea, tunapanga kujihusisha na shughuli zinginezo katika cluster yetu, kwa mfano kuanza benki yetu, ambayo itakuwa kuweka pesa ambazo zitawaruhusu watu kuweka na kuomba. Pia tungetaka kuanzisha kitalu cha miti ya kuuza ili kusaidia juhudi zetu za kuweka pesa za kuomba. Lengo linguine ni kupata usajili na idara ya huduma za ujamii ili tupate hadhi ya kisheria na tuweze kufanya biashara tukitumia jina la cluster yetu likiwa chombo cha kisheria. Cluster ya Kirubia - TIST imetufunza kujitegemea. Umetayarishiwa na Festus Mutegi. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 V ikundi na cluster za TIST hutenda vitendo vingi: Upandaji miti na kuboresha njia za kilimo. Kunapokuwa na kazi nyingi ya kufanyika , ni vizuri kuunda hatua za utekelezaji . Kila mwanakikundi lazima aseme kwenye kikundi nini atafanya wiki hiyo. Tutawafunza, Kikundi chako kidogo na cluster yako jinsi ya kufanya upangaji wa utekelezaji wa kitendo. Tafadhali jifunze pamoja wanachama wengine wa cluster yako wakati wa mkutano wako. Hatua ya utekelezaji ni kitu ambacho ni :
• Mahsusi • Kinaonekana
• Kinachoweza kupimika
• Kina mwanzo na mwisho
• Hakikisha hatua yako ya utekelezaji ni ya kweli unaweza unayoweza kufikia! Kwa mfano, kusema ‘ Nitapanda miti “sio hatua ya utekelezaji kwa sababu iko jumla sana.“Nitafanya kazi siku tatu asubuhi wiki hii kupandikiza miche sabini na tano katika shamba letu jipya” ni hatua ya utekelezaji kwa sababu ni maalum ( kupandikiza miche sabini na tano), inaoonekana (watu wanaweza kuona ukifanya ) inapimika ( miche sabini na tano , asubuhi tatu) na ina mwanzo na mwisho ( mwisho wa siku tatu unaweza kuona matokeo). Wakati cluster yako itakutana tena, mruhusu dakika kumi karibu na mwisho wa mkutano wa kikundi kidogo ili kila mtu aweze kutoa taarifa kuhusu hatua yake ya utekelezaji. Kila mtu kwa haraka : (1) Aeleza kikundi hatua yake ya utekelezaji ya wiki iliyopita. (2) Aseme alichofanya kwa ukweli. (3) Aeleze hatua ya utekelezaji ya wiki inayofuata. Kama mtu alifanikiwa katika hatua yake ya utekelezaji, kundi lisherehekee mafanikio. Kama, kama mara nyingi inavyotokea, mwanakikundi alikuweza kufanya sehemu tu ya lengo lake , kundi linamhimiza na halimkosoi au kumpa lawama. Wakati watu wana uwezo wa kuongea kwa uhuru kuhusu mafanikio yao na kushindwa kwao watakuwa na moyo wa kufanya vizuri zaidi kila wiki. Hamasisha wanakikundi / wanachama wa cluster yako kufikiria hatua wanazoweza kuchukua. Hakikisha kila mojawapo ni maalumu , inapimika na yaweza kufanyika! Ongeeni na msherehekee hatua za utekelezaji ambazo kikundi au cluster yenu imeweza kukamilisha . Hatua za Utekelezaji katika Mipango ya utekelezaji Mbinu sawa inaweza kutumika wakati wa kupanga . Hapa, mfano umetolewa katika mabano . Wakati kundi lako linapanga cha kufanya ,
hakikisha mipango yenu ni: Maalum ( cluster yetu itapanda miti elfu hamsini katika mashamba yetu kabla ya Desemba tarehe ishirini) Inayopimika (mingapi -? Miti elfu hamsini itapandwa ) Inayoweza kufikiwa / Ya Kweli (Kila Kikundi kidogo cha TIST katika cluster yetu kinaweza kupanda miti elfu moja katika wiki tano - miti mia moja kila Jumanne na Alhamisi , miti kumi kwa kila mtu / kwa siku) Imefungwa kiwakati ( ina mwanzo na mwisho - sisi kupanda miti kati ya Novemba kumi na tano - Desemba ishirini ) Inaonekana SMARTO ! Huu ni mwongozo na mtihani wa hatua zako zampango wako wa utekelezaji na inakusaidia kuwa maalum : 1. Nini - ( Upandaji wa miti elfu hamsini ) 2. Nani - (Wanavikundi vya TIST kwa majina) 3. Wakati - ( Novemba 15 - Desemba 20 ) 4. Wapi - ( hospitali) 5. Jinsi - ( Sisi kukutana kila alasiri ya Jumanne na Alhamisi baada ya joto ya siku na kuchimba mashimo, kisha kupanda miti) 6. Mbona – (Kuboresha eneo linalozunguka hospitali, kupata kivuli zaidi kwa ajiri ya wagonjwa na wageni, watu wataweza kukaa chini ya kivuli na kivuli kitafanya hospitali kupunguza joto. Jaribuni mipango na hatua za utekelezaji katika mkutano wa kikundi chako unaofuata! Jinsi ya kupangia mafanikio katika cluster yako Hatua na Mipango ya utekelezaji. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Christine Ndinda,
Memba wa TIST anayejitolea sana. C hristine Ndinda ni memba wa kikundi kidogo cha Undu Ti Umwe katika cluster ya Karaba, Mbeere. Alijiunga na TIST mwaka wa 2013 pamoja na memba wengine watano; Benedertah Mwikali, Esther Ndila, Flotena Ndungwa, Monicah Kanini, na Morah Mwethya Kimoyu. Walijiunga na TIST baada ya kutambua kuwa kuna mambo mengi mazuri katika dunia ambayo mtu aweza kufanya ili kujisaidia, kusaidia majirani, jamii na pia dunia nzima. Jambo moja ni kupambana na mabadiliko ya tabianchi. Ndiposa, wakalipa kundi lao jina “ Undu ti Umwe” ambalo laweza tafsiria kumaanisha,“Maisha hayahusu jambo moja pekee.” Christine amekuwa memba bora sana si tu katika kundi lake bali pia kwa eneo la TIST lote katika Mbeere. Amekumbatia TIST kwa ukamilifu, akitia juhudi zote katika kupanda miti, kilimo hai, uongozi wa kujitolea na zaidi ya yote kuwakumbusha memba maadili ya TIST. Kuongeza, Christine huwafunza wanawake wengine katika TIST kuhusu shughuli zinazoleta pesa. Yeye hufunza na kuonyesha kutengeneza sabuni ya mti na yanay a. hili halijaboresha usafi tu katika nyumba za watu bali waliofaidika na mafunzo haya sasa wanapata mapato kutokana na kuuza sabuni za unga. Sisi, katika TIST, tunamshangilia na pia tunajivunia kazi yake. Kikundi kidogo katika
TIST cha Undu Ti Umwe katika Cluster ya Karaba wakumbatia njia bora za shughuli mbalimbali ili kufaidika zaidi. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 Simon Gichuki akagua shamba lake la kilimo hai. S imon Gichuki ni mkulima katika TIST aliye memba wa kikundi kidogo cha Muitethia, kikundi nambari 2008KE2153. Yumo katika cluster ya Burguret, eneo la Narumoru. Wakati mtumishi katika cluster, Eunice Wambui alipotembelea shamba lake alimpata Simon akipanda miti zaidi. Siku hiyo, Simon alipanda miti sitini katika shamba lake na kuifanya miti ifike mia tano katika shamba lake dogo. Simon alipata nia ya kujaribu kilimo hai baada ya kuhudhuria mkutano ambapo swala hili lilifunzwa na akasema,“ Niliamua kujaribu kilimo hai. Nilikuwa na wasiwasi hapo mwanzo lakini nikaamua kujaribu. Nilishangaa sana nilipoona mahindi yangu yakifanya vizuri hata mvua ilipopungua. Nilivuna magunia mawili ya mahindi kutokana na robo ekari. Hili likawa la kuajabisha!” asema Simon Kutokana na vuno hili, Simon akawa “Balozi wa Kilimo Hai” katika cluster yake. Yeye huwahamasisha wakulima wengine kujaribu kilimo hai san asana katika maeneo makavu ya Narumoru ambapo mvua huwa haba na haiwezi kutabirika. Msimu huu, mimea ya Simon inaonekana kuwa na uzalishaji zaidi. “Nimejaribu Kilimo Hai na vuno lilikuwa zuri sana”,
asema Simon Gichuki. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 B aada ya kuvuna, usiyachome mabaki ya mimea, badala yake yaache chini. Jinsi unavyoacha mabaki zaidi chini ndivyo unavyorutubisha udongo na kuufanya kuwa wenye rutuba. Safu ya haya mabaki yakizunguka chini ya mti au miche husaidia kuongeza kiwango cha maji katika udongo jambo ambalo huzuia miti kutokana na ukavu mingi. Kumbuka kuwa Mabaki ya mimea yanaweza pia kutengeneza mbolea. - Jaribu kuweka mifugo mbali kwani mifugo ikila itaacha mabaki machache yakifunika udongo. - Mashimo ya kilimo hai yafaa kuchimbwa kabla ya mvua kuja na ni muhimu kuanza kuyachimba mapema. - Tia alama utakapochimba mashimo yako, halafu utafute kamba ndefu na ufungie vifuniko vya chupa vikitengana na centimita sabini. Nyoosha kamba kuvuka shamba lako ili kila kifuniko kiwe kati kati ya shimo ili kuhakikisha kuwa mashimo yana nafasi inayofaa kati yao.Tumia jembe kutia alama ya kuonyesha mistari ya mashimo ili kila mstari uwe centimita tisini kutoka kwa huo mwingine. - Siku hiyo hiyo unapotia alama, chimba mashimo yaliyo na umbo la mviringo. Yafaa kuwa na upana wa centimita kumi na tano, urefu wa centimita thelathini na tano na centimita kumi na tano kwenda chini. - Unapokuwa tayari kupanda mbegu, ni muhimu kuweka udongo wenye rutuba shimoni ili kusaidia kutia mimea nguvu. Changanya mbolea na udongo mzuri wa juu, au utumie mbolea ya mimea. Ikiwa una saruji na mbolea ya viwanda, iweke shimoni na ujaze kila shimo na mchanganyiko huo hadi centimita tano chini ya ardhi ya kawaida.
- Ikiwa unapanda mahindi, lowesha mbegu kwa maji masaa sita kufika saba kabla ya kupanda. Jambo hili hufanya mbegu kuota haraka na kuweza kuishi. Unapopanda mbegu, panda mbegu nne udongoni kuvuka shimo na ufunike na mchanganyiko wa udongo mnono na mbolea sentimita mbili na nusu. Udongo katika shimo utakuwa sentimita mbili na nusu chini ya ardhi ya kawaida. Mavimbe makubwa magumu ya udongo yanafaa kuvunjwa ili udongo ufikie mbegu vizuri. - Iwapo unapanda mtama, panda mbegu tano au sita katika kila mwisho wa shimo baada ya mvua nzuri halafu ufunikie mbegu na centimita mbili na nusu za udongo wenye rutuba uliochanganyika mbolea. - Nafasi inayoachwa juu husaidia maji kuingia kwa mimea wakati mvua inapofika. Bila nafasi hii maji ya mvua yatabebwa juu ya ardhi na kubeba virutubisho vingi. - Toa magugu karibu na mashimo kila baada ya muda na kila mwaka hutapata kutakuwa na magugu machache na machache zaidi. - Usife moyo! Kuchimba mashimo sasa kutamaanisha yatakuwa tayari mwaka huu na hutachimba tena mwaka ujao. Jinsi ya kulima kwa njia ya kilimo hai.
