Mosquitoes, which are responsible for the spread of malaria pathogens, breed fast. It is important to look after your homes to reduce the presence of mosquitoes. These steps can help:

• Clear your compound of any unwanted bushes or grasses.

• Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Stagnant water provides breeding ground for mosquitoes

• Clear away any leftover food overnight.

• Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit.

• Sweep your house and compound daily.

• Remember to use mosquito nets when possible. Being organized into clusters makes it easier for groups to meet, receive and share training and information, quantify trees, and get paid. More than 930 TIST Small Groups in 51 clusters have received their tree payments in April and May, and hundreds more will be paid in 14 additional clusters by the time you read this article. All the payments were done in clusters. Payments will continue in clusters as they continue to organize. Cluster representatives and other servant leaders are learning how to facilitate payments so that we can receive payments as a regular part of cluster meetings. During payments, some groups who have many trees, especially trees that are often grown as short-rotation trees, were interviewed by TIST servant leaders. They had these interviews to benefit all TIST farmers for the long-term. TIST farmers are part of the carbon market. As in any market, buyers require quality ENGLISH VERSION 2 Small Groups in 65 clusters receive their tree incentives in April and May. Servant Leaders remind groups of the commitment to maintain trees for 30 years. of goods sold. One important rule of the carbon market is that for carbon to count, we cannot clear cut our trees.

We need to keep trees in our groves for at least 30 years. With huge groves with nothing but eucalyptus trees, TIST leaders were concerned that these trees might not be kept for 30 years. If trees in TIST groves are cut before 30 years, buyer will not trust TIST, the project may fail. With a large grove cut, the entire TIST project around the world could fail. Gone would be the carbon revenues that will pay the farmers for their hard work. Gone will be the revenue needed to support the project for the long term. Let us thank our servant leaders for their hard work interviewing large groups and training on the importance of this commitment. Let us all commit again to keep our trees for 30 years and more. As trees grow, so will our benefits for years to come. In the year 2000, world leaders adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration and Millennium Development Goals. Eight goals were set, including the vision of bringing half of world population out of the bondage of poverty by the year 2015. Millennium Development Goals have become a universal framework for development. These goals include: Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 5: Improve maternal health Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases Goal 7: Ensure Environmental sustainability Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development The TIST Program began as a response to goals set by people working together in Tanzania in July of 1999. At two seminars, the participants set goals to eradicate famine, reforest their devastated land, and address health concerns of the people, give trainings and start small groups. In December of 1999, members of the first Small Groups gathered and the basic TIST Program was born. TIST began TIST helps achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals—here’s how! before the UN Millennium Development Goals were developed, yet it is exciting to see how closely aligned the vision of those first Small Group members was to the vision of 189 world leaders who gathered later that year. As TIST has matured, it has responded to more needs and requests expressed by members of the Small Groups. It now encompasses most of the UN Millennium Development Goals in its program of activities. TIST works within rural communities in six developing countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, India, Nicaragua and Honduras. It has immensely contributed in responding positively to the goals highlighted above. TIST has made both direct and indirect interventions. Both efforts have drastically changed lives of thousands of people. Here in Kenya, the program was introduced in August 2004. Within the six years it has been in operation, over 7,000 Small Groups have joined the program. Each Small Group is made of 6 to 12 subsistence farmers, men and women, working together to achieve shared goals. The main focus of TIST groups is on reforestation, with groups receiving an incentive for each tree they plant and keep alive. Alongside this, groups receive a holistic training program adapted to the most pressing needs of the local ENGLISH VERSION 3 community. Currently this includes training on tree-planting, nursery development and management, sustainable agriculture, HIV/ AIDS, malaria prevention, nutrition, fuel efficient stoves, riparian areas conservation and protection and capacity building skills. Training is conducted through a program of seminars and through local trainers facilitating monthly group meetings known as Cluster Trainings / meetings. Through these efforts, the program helps achieve the MDGs in the following ways; Goal

1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. One of the major causes of drought that results in hunger is desertification. Deforestation contributes to desertification. As more areas continue to lose millions of trees, the drought intensifies, and with it, food crisis and insecurity. The main focus of TIST program is reforestation. The program is working with Small Groups where members are trained on nursery development and management, species selection and tree planting best practices. So far, over 5.4 million trees have been planted by TIST Kenya farmers, and each is important in the fight against desertification and climate change. The program provides a small incentive to farmers for every tree they plant and keep alive. This has supplemented their income hence they are able to meet their basic needs. Besides planting trees, TIST participants are trained on Conservation Farming. This farming technique, developed by UNFAO, has boosted maize and other crop production by an average of four fold since it was introduced to TIST farmers. This has meant that more TIST members now have enough food for themselves and their families and are no longer hungry. In some areas, such as Meru region, farmers are now selling surplus produce to the market, thus supplementing their incomes. Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education. Primary school enrollment has not been a major TIST issue in Kenya. With the Government introduction of free primary education, nearly all children of school age are enrolled. However, the stipend paid for the trees helps pay for school fees and clothing, and with better nutrition, children are better able to learn. A number of TIST members have made personal efforts to support education in some of the primary schools in the region. Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women. The TIST program puts a lot of emphasis on both rotational leadership and servant leadership, two of TIST’s Small Group “best practices.” TIST Best Practice is that every Small Group should exercise rotational leadership, practice servant leadership and “building up” of that week’s leader. Through these Best Practices, women are empowered to take leadership roles and be equally involved with men in making decisions for their Small Groups. Their leadership qualities are identified and supported through “building up” and then harnessed for the good of the group as a whole. Many women who are in TIST Small Groups have reported that they begin to participate more actively in the leadership and development of their groups as well as in their villages and in the larger society. Goal 4: Reduce child mortality.

TIST helps reduce child mortality in several ways: Conservation Farming improves harvest and so can improve nutrition. TIST trains on the use of mosquito nets to reduce childhood malaria, and trains on fuel-efficient stoves that vent the smoke outside the cooking area so women and children don’t breathe it. TIST cluster meetings are good places for community organizations to share information on vaccinations, hygiene, nutrition and other best practices to protect infants and children and help them to grow strong. .Goal 5: Improve maternal health. Most maternal deaths are caused by lack of access to maternal health care. Poor women, unable to raise maternity fees, often opt for home delivery and do not receive any care during their pregnancy, and in many cases of birth complications, the mother and/or child can die. TIST, with the income from the incentives for live trees, encourages families to take health insurance coverage that will not only cater for pregnant mothers but also the entire family. TIST is has been encouraging members to join National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) scheme. Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases. HIV/AIDS and malaria continue to be among the biggest challenges in developing countries. In realization that these two scourges affect all sectors of development, the TIST ENGLISH VERSION 4 program includes training on HIV/AIDS and malaria in its program. Upon joining the program, members of the Small Groups receive training on preventive measures of both epidemics. Significantly, in Meru and Nanyuki areas, cases of malaria have continued to rise as glaciers on the cap of Mount Kenya continue to melt and temperatures rise. This is the result of global climate change. Efforts made by the Small Groups to plant millions of trees aim to reverse the warming trend. Goal 7: Ensure Environmental sustainability. Levels of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change have continued to rise over the years and forests around the world continue to be cleared and degraded. This has driven climate change and desertification, increased the number of malaria zones and contributed to the harsh climatic conditions that have a negative impact on agriculture. Environmental sustainability is the foundation of the TIST program and its community forestry focus. Farmers restore forests, prevent soil erosion, and protect rivers. TIST farmers have been in forefront in mitigating climate change. They have worked tirelessly to plant and care for millions of trees. As mentioned above, over 5 million trees in Kenya alone are alive as a result of the Small Group members’ efforts. The program has resonated within the communities with overwhelming requests to exp TIST in new areas. Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development. TIST farmers have discovered, through the program, a new global business –the Carbon Credit Business. Small Groups are receiving millions of shillings every year as an advance on sales that will occur when trees have grown large. TIST Kenya sold its first validated and verified carbon credits this year. The program has opened this international market and communication channel to TIST participants. Knowledge transfer cannot be overemphasized.

TIST Trainers and Quantifiers have been trained and exposed on Palm Computer Technology and Internet, as well as on climate change and local action to fight it. Information has been flowing smoothly between TIST participants in Kenya and their counterparts in USA, UK, East Africa and India making exchange of ideas possible. Exchange programs have been promoted across the East African countries. More often, TIST participants from Uganda and Kenya visit each other a study tours for seminars and field visits to share Best Practices and to strengthen and build TIST farmers globally. Truly, TIST develops global partnerships for development. Now that the rains have started, you should already have transplanted your seedlings into your groves. If you have not yet transplanted your seedlings, you should do so as quickly as possible. Your seedlings need to be transplanted now so that they can grow strong in the rainy season and survive the drier months. The most important activity this month is to weed your seedlings. Keep the area where your seedlings are as clean as possible. Pull up any weeds that are growing near your seedlings. Weeding is important for these reasons: 1. Your seedlings need water, soil nutrients and light to grow strong. If there are weeds they will compete with your seedling for these things. The weeds will use the soil nutrients and water that your seedlings need. The result is that your seedlings will be weaker and may not survive. 2. If your area is not weeded, there will be more pests attracted to the area. Pests can damage and kill your seedlings. The fewer weeds there are, the less chance there will be of snakes and insects. Here are some of the advantages of weeding your groves:

• Trees grow faster because weeds don’t take the nutrients and water from the soil

• Trees will become stronger and grow taller in a shorter period of time

• Trees can get the sunlight they need unhindered

• Trees are not exposed to as many diseases

• Trees are more protected from a fire spreading

• Clean groves indicate that Small Groups are maintaining them and are good examples of the TIST program. This will attract many people to come and see your work.

• Clean groves enable the Quantifiers to count the trees quickly and accurately Remember to protect the seedlings so that animals (e.g. goats) do not eat them or trample on them. Consider fencing the grove or surrounding seedlings with some thorn bushes. If you have some days with no rain, remember to water the seedlings. Time to weed your trees and crops ENGLISH VERSION 5 In some families, where the loved ones have been sick, caregiving becomes very important. Illnesses such as as Diabetes, Cancer, HIV and AIDS, and Tuberculosis (TB) are chronic illnesses, meaning they recur or last a long time. Patients suffering from such diseases need to be fed the right, nutritious food to make them as strong as possible and help fight other infections. Good nutrition includes food which:

1: Provide energy to the body Foods in this category are sources of carbohydrates and include:

• Ugali (stiff porridge made from maize) and thinner porridge made out of maize, sorghum, millet, finger millet or cassava.

• Rice.

• Sweet potatoes or Irish potatoes. Note that oils and fats, in moderation, provide energy as well as adding taste to the food. 2: Are used for body building (Proteins)

• Meat (beef, chicken, goat, mutton, duck, guinea fowl).

• Fish (sardines, tilapia, nile perch, mud fish).

• Eggs.

• Milk.

• Legumes (beans, cowpeas, green grams, peas).

• Ground nuts. 3: Are sources of Vitamins Vitamin A is especially important for keeping people living with HIV/AIDS? Many vitamins, especially Vitamin A, are available in enough quantities from:

• Green vegetables (cowpea leaves, okra, cassava leaves).

• Orange fleshed vegetables (orange-fleshed sweet potato)

• Plantain (matoke)

Organizations such as NALEP have helped us with polytubes, and our efforts to plant trees Muguna Small Group: We are proud to be in TIST By Joseph Thitai. in public lands have borne fruits. We have also planted different species of trees in our own shambas. So far, we have planted over 2000 trees of different species including indigenous trees such as mitero. We also have Neem, Mikinduri, Avacodos, Mipera, Gravellia and many others Our group has 8 members. Our TIST number is 2006KE56. We belong to Male cluster. ENGLISH VERSION 6 For a long time, living in the semiarid area of Tharaka district, we thought our problems will be solved by government or other big organizations. Never did it occur to us that we can solve these problems by ourselves. So, when TIST was introduced in our area, we were happy that one such big organization had come to help us out of our harsh hardships. We expected to see huge and expensive projects being carried out while we waited for the fruits. We were wrong. We were told in TIST, we will have to do the work by ourselves. We were trained to form Small Groups of 6-12 members. So we formed Friends United TIST Small Group. We are in 7 in number. Now, we waited for money to come in our group from TIST. Again, we were wrong. We were trained on how to establish tree nurseries and take care of the seedlings. So, we did establish a small tree nursery and waited for TIST to come and buy seedlings from us. We got it wrong again! Instead, we got training on how to transplant the seedlings in our own lands. Sooner than later, we found our lands become green as trees began to flourish. We began to realize the benefits. Our Mango and orange trees have started to bear fruits. Our trees have been counted – we are expecting payments from TIST soon. So we thought, why not try TIST’s Conservation Farming practices. We met as a group and made a resolution that some of us should try this farming technique. Susan prepared 1015 CF holes, Regina 100 holes, Janet 50 holes, Robert 988 holes. All of us got better and improved crop yield from our plots. Now everybody wants to practice CF. Again, we have joined hands with other Small Groups in our Matakiri Cluster to plant indigenous trees along the riparian areas. We intend to plant more trees this rainy season. Together with other groups, we have started a village saving and credit association. This association helps us to save and also borrow when we require loans to improve our productivity. Further, we have begun to adopt and construct energy efficient jikos. This will help us not to cut down our trees too often. Bounded together by the spirit of hard work, self-reliance and togetherness, we have begun to realize steady positive transformation. Friends United TIST Small Group: A steady Transformation. By Susan Kinanu English name: Waterberry Scientific Name: Syzygium guineense Kikuyu Name: Mukoe Kimeru: Muriru This tree usually occurs in lowland rain forest and mountain rain forests. It commonly grows in moist conditions, sometimes even in water, and is usually found along streams. It is an excellent tree for reducing erosion and protecting stream banks. Seeds need no pre-sowing treatment, as germination rates are good and uniform. Rates of 80- 90% are attained after 20 to 50 days. Direct sowing into pots is recommended. Fruits are perishable hence should be picked from the ground soon after falling. They may also be collected by shaking the branches with hooks. After collection, the fruits should be sown out immediately, as seeds will lose viability if they are dried; if this is not possible, fruit can be stored for a few days in moist sawdust and open containers in well-ventilated rooms Uses: Food (fruit), bee forage, timber, fuel wood, shade, medicine (fruit is used as a remedy for dysentery, while a decoction of the bark is used to prevent diarrhoea).

Note the poisonous bark has been reported to cause human deaths, so advice should be sought from people experienced in using the products from this tree. TIST Tree of the Month of June: Waterberry Tree Today, we celebrate a big achievement for TIST farmers and servant leaders, and an exciting new opportunity. VCS and CCBA Validation and Verification—TIST is first in the world! TIST has been Validated and Verified for their work in Kenya against the VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) and also by the CCB (Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards) – the two most highly regarded certification standards for carbon reduction projects. TIST is the only project in the world to have achieved dual certification! Additionally, on June 6, TIST is scheduled to be signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kenya Forest Service (KFS) for TIST Small Groups to plant indigenous trees in gazetted forests riparian and catchment areas. The certification is important for many reasons. 1. It means other people see and support that the trees TIST farmers are planting, and the work that servant leaders are doing, have real benefits for climate, for people, and for improving biodiversity. 2. It means that by following TIST Values in our work together in our Small Groups and clusters, we are getting accurate data. This accurate data means that carbon credit customers trust us, so we can sell on the carbon market. 3. It is our first sale of carbon stored by trees we have planted, and so provides the funds for our tree incentives and to keep TIST growing and strong. Clean Air Action Corporation (CAAC), one of the founders of the TIST Project, Vice President Charlie Williams commented: “Environmental change requires a commitment to honesty and transparency of results. TIST’s goal was to empower subsistence farmers to be a part of the global marketplace and motivate responsible environmental decisions. Now, we have conclusive proof that TIST is providing enormous benefits to the climate, to biodiversity, and to the more than 60,000 farmers, who have planted more than 10 million trees, in the last 10 years.”

The accurate, complete data collected by Quantifiers on the work TIST does was very important to this achievement. For TIST to be Validated and Verified by VCS and CCB Standards, the program’s data collection and process needed to be audited by a third party firm. Environmental Services, Inc, (ESI) sent a team to Kenya to investigate the results indicated by the TIST program. According to ESI’s Shawn McMahon, the TIST program is an impressive mixture of farmer dedication and data management. “We witnessed firsthand TIST’s significant impact in Kenya through sequestering carbon, supporting local communities, and enhancing biodiversity. TIST management and field staff were professional, a pleasure to work with, and clearly Celebrating TIST Kenya for the work we do and new opportunities! www .tist.org have a passion for improving the livelihood of Kenyans and mitigating the effects of global climate change. ESI is proud to play a role in these important projects.” The announcement that the project also achieves the requirements of the CCB Standards represents an important endorsement of the TIST program. The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Project Design Standards are considered a benchmark for evaluating land-based carbon mitigation projects. According to Dr. Joanna Durbin, Director of the CCBA, the independent audit process has shown that the TIST program meets their strict requirements and is indeed an impressive world first in dual Validation and Verification. She had this to say regarding the TIST program accomplishment: “We are delighted that TIST’s community-based project in Kenya has met our rigorous CCB Standards. We are also excited to see a project - for the first time - move beyond validation of project design to being fully ‘CCB Verified’, demonstrating that the project has actually been implemented following best practices in community engagement and is delivering truly significant benefits for the local communities and the environment.” The CCB Validation and Verification matters to buyers of offsets, who want to know that the projects they support through their purchases benefit people, climate, and diversity of life. This continued success and expansion TIST program has been supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). As a result, TIST farmers are combating the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the world: deforestation and poor agricultural practices. Working together, more than 60,000 strong, TIST farmers are reversing their contribution to climate change and becoming an important part of the solution. USAID Kenya Mission Director, Erna Kerst, is convinced the program is making a difference. “TIST has been innovative and bold from the beginning. I’m not surprised they’re the first in the world to achieve this double distinction. TIST is pioneering a triple win—for farmers, for Kenya’s environment, and for proving some of the technology needed tosafeguard our climate. We are very proud of our collaboration on this program.”

This achievement is a big one to celebrate and provides a foundation for growth. We need to continue to organize ourselves in our clusters to achieve big results, plant more trees, and be even stronger in our fight against climate change. TIST founder and CAAC President, Ben Henneke, explains: “The real credit for the outstanding results of this program belongs to the farmers of TIST, who collect local seeds, make nurseries, plant seedlings, and keep them alive through droughts, floods, cattle and goat raids, and rogue elephants. TIST farmers are an incredibly inspiring group of people. They are proud of the benefits their trees are having on their lives and on the global environment.” Published by TIST-Kenya.

Kugiita miti nigutumaga nthiguru yuuma. O uria gungu gukwingi nkuruki gugwita na mbele kugitwa miti nou mbura ikuura na amwe na bou, irio bikaura na bikanyiyia. Kioneki kia mubango jwa TIST kiria kinene ni gucokia miti aria yari. Muradi nijukurita ngugi na ikundi bibinini aria amemba bakuritanwa mantu ja kwambiria na kumenyeera minanda, gutara mithemba ya miti na njira iria nthongi buru cia kuanda miti. Mwankira thaa iji, nkuruki ya miti milioni ithano na Magana janna niandi ni arimi ndene ya TIST Kenya na yonthe iri na bata kiri kurua na uumo bwa nthiguru na kugaruka kwa rera. Muradi nijutethagia na mbeca inkai kiri murimi kiri o muti junthe juria akuanda na ageka igita ririnene. Bubu nibutetheretie kwongera mbeca iria bonaga na kwou ikabatethia kuriira into biria batumagira. Amwe na kuanda miti, arimi ba TIST nibaritani urimi bubwega. Urimi bubu buria bwathithirue ni UNFAO, nibutethetie maciara ja mpempe na irio bingi kwingia maita ujanna kuuma bukwija. Kuku ni kuuga arimi ba TIST bangi nandi barina irio bia kung’ana arimi kiribo na njaa ciao na nandi batina mpara. Ntuurene imwe ta Meru, arimi nandi nibakwendia biria bigutigara thokone kwou bakongera mbeca iria boonaga. Kioneki 2: Gukinyira uthomi bwa aana bonthe. Gutonya cukuru ya primary kwa aana gutithirite kuri gitu kiria TIST ithithagia ndene ya Kenya. Thirikari ikwambiria kuthoma kwa utheri, akui aana bonthe baria bakinyite miaka iria ibati bari cukuru. Amwe na bou mbeca iria arimi bonaga kuumania na miti niibatethagia kuria mbeca cia cukuru na kuguura nguo na irio bibiega nkuruki, kwou aana bakomba kuthoma bwega. Amemba babakai ba TIST nibatetheretie kibo bongwa kiri cukuru imwe iria ciri ndene ya ntura ciao. Kioneki 3: Gwikira inya kung’anana kwa antu bonthe na gwikira aka inya. Muradi jwa TIST nijuinyagiria utongeria bwa kuthiuruka na utongeria bwa uthumba, ijiri cia njira iria njega buru cia ikundi bibinini bia TIST kiri utongeria. O gikundi gikinini nikiendekaga kuthiurukia utongeria, kugeria utongeria bwa uthumba na gwaka mutongeria wa kiumia kiu. Gukurukira njira iji njega buru, aka nibekagirwa inya kujukia utongeria na kubanga mantu ja gikundi amwe na arume. Mantu jaria jathongi kiri utongeria bwao jakajukua na jagatumirwa gwakana riu jagatumirwa gutethia gikundi kionthe. Aka babaingi baria bari ndene ya ikundi bibinini bia TIST nibaugaga ati nibambiritie gutongeria na gwitithia ikundi biao, ntuura ciao nambele bwega. Kioneki 4: Kunyiyia gukua kwa aana. TIST nitethagia kunyiyia gukua kwa aana na njira inyingi: urimi bubwega nibutethagia kwingiyia maketha na kwou bugatethagia kumenyeera mithemba ya irio biria bikuriwa. TIST niritananaga utumiri bwa neti cia rwagi kunyiyia rwagi kiri aana, na ikaritana kwegie mariko jaria jethagirwa jari na gwagwitira toi mwanka oome ya aria gukurugirwa nikenda aka na aana batikucia ruugo rou rwina toi.

Micemanio ya TIST ya cluster ni guntu gukwega gwa biama bia ikundi bia mantu mwanya mwanya ndene ya ntuura kugaana umenyo kwegia sindano cia kurigiria mbajua, utheru, kuria bwega na mitire ingi imiega iria irigairia aana na kubatethia kugia inya. Kioneki 5 : Kumenyera baria bari na aana babanini nkuruki. Gukua kwa ekuru igitene ria kuewa mwana nikwithagirwa kurio niuntu bwa kwaga umenyeri bwa ekuru baba. Baria bati na mbeca batiumbaga gucua mbeca cia gwita cibitari kuererwa nao na kwou bati ungi tiga kuerwa nja na batimenyagirwa uria kubati kwou jaria maingi kuri na thina igitene ria guciara, mwana kana ng’ina kana kinya bobairi nobakue. TIST gukurukira mbeca kuumania na miti, nikagira inya njaa kujukia insurance iria itimenyeera aka babarito indi iria ikamenyeera njaa yonthe mantune ja mbajua. TIST nithirite igikagira amemba gutonya kiri mubango jwa KIMERU VERSION 4 NHIF. Kioneki 6: Kunyiyia Mirimo ya HIV/AiDS, rwagi na ingi. Mirimo ya HIV/AIDS amwe na rwagi niitite na mbele kwithirwa iri thina iria nene buru ndene ya nthiguru iria igukura. TIST ikumenya ati mirimo iu iiri nikuthukia mantu jonthe ja witi nambele, niyatonyithiria uritani bwa HIV/AIDS na rwagi kiri mibango yaju. Barikia gutonya muradine jwa TIST, amemba ba ikundi bibinini nibaritanagwa kwegie njira cia kwebere mirimo iji iria ithiranagia. Antune anene, Meru na Nanyuki, antu babaingi nkuruki nibetite nambele kugwatwa ni rwagi niuntu mbarabu iria ituraga iguru kirimene kia Mt Kenya nigwita nambele gukeruka na mwaki jugeta nambele kwingia. Bubu niuntu bwa kugaruka kwa rera. Ngugi iria iriti ni ikundi bibinini ya kuanda miti nitegete mono kugarura kwingia guku kwa mwanki. Kioneki 7: Kumenyeera ati naria gututhiurukite Kiwango kia ruugo ruria rurutagiria rugatuma rera igaruka nirwitite nambele kwingia uria miaka igwita na miitu nthigurune cionthe no igwita nambele kugiitwa na kuthukua. Bubu nibutumite rera igaruka na uumo butamba, naria kwina rwagi kwingia na bwathukia rera buria nabu butumite urimi bugia inya. Kumenyeera naria gututhiukite niju musingi jwa muradi jwa TIST na kuinyiria kwa miitu ya ntuura. Arimi nibacokagia miitu, bakanyiyia ukamati bwa muthetu, na kumenyeera nduuji. Arimi ba TIST nibethiritwe bali mbele kiri gukabana na kugaruka kwa rera. Nibaritite ngugi batikunoga kuanda miti na kumenyeera miti imingi. Ja uria kugirwe au kabele, nkuruki ya miti milioni ithano ndene ya Kenya aki iri moyo niuntu bwa guciumia kwa amemba ba ikundi bibinini. Muradi juju nijutambite ntuurene inyingi na TIST ikoria ni babaingi ibakinyire naria itikinyite. Kioneki 8: Kuthithia ngwataniro ya nthiguru cionthe niuntu bwa witi na mbele. Arimi ba TIST nibamenyete, gukurukira muradi, thoko injeru ya ruugo. Ikundi bibinini nibikugwata mbeca milioni inyingi o mwakata mbeca cia mbele ya thoko ibua buria bugakarika miti yanenea. TIST Kenya niyenderie ruugo rwa mbele ruria rwathimi na rwetikirua nirung’aniu mwaka juju. Muradi nijurugurite thoko iji ya nthiguru cionthe na njira ya kwaraniria ki baria bar indene ya TIST. Kunenkaniria umenyo butiumba kugwa uria bwithirwa bunenei nkurukie uria buri. Aritani na Atari miti ba TIST nibaritani na boonua gutumira Palm na Internet, amwe na kugaruka kwa rera na mantu jaria jomba kuthithua ni batwi kukabana nabu. Kugaana mantu jameru jaria jakwija nikwithiritwe gugitaga na mbele bwega gatigati ka baria bar indene ya TIST Kenya na bangi baria bari USA, UK, East Africa na India bugitumaga kugaana mantu jaria jakuthuganirua jameru kuumbika. Mibango ya kuriunganira niikiritwe inya gatigati ka nthi cia Uganda, Tanzania na Kenya. Jaria maingi , baria bari ndene ya TIST kuuma Uganda na Kenya nibariunganagira kuthoma na kuriunganira kienine kugaana mitire iria miega buru ya kuthithia mantu na gwikira inya na gwaka arimi ba TIST.

Kuuga mma, TIST niitithagia mbele ngwataniro cia witi na mbele. Nandi nontu ngai ikwambiria, nubati kwithira uthamiritie miti yaku muundene. Kethira utamithamia, nubati kuthithangia u nampwi. Miti yaku nibati kuthamua thaa iji nikenda igia inya igitene ria mbura na itobora mieri iria miumo. Untu buria burina bata ni kurimira miti yaku iminini. Ika aria miti yaku iri kuri kutheru uria kuumbika. Kuura iria riria rikurite akui na miti yaku iminini. Gukurira iria kuri nabata niuntu: 1.

TIST nitegeri ngugi na yakurukithua ngugine yao ndene ya Kenya ni VCS iria ikurungamira utegi bwa ruugo rou rukwendua na kinya ni CCB iria ikurungamira utegi bwa Rera, ntuura na kumenyeera ati mithemba imingi ya imera na nyomoo nibigukaraniria- ijiri cia gukurukithua kuria kwithagirwa kuri gukunene buru ndene ya miradi ya kunyiyia ruugo ruruthoku.

TIST niju muradi juria junka nthigurune cionthe jukurukite kiri jaja jojairi o rimwe! Kwongera, tariki ithanthatu mweri jwa itantatu, TIST nibangirite gusaina fomu ya gwitikaniria nabaria bamenyagiira miitu ya Kenya (Kenya Forest Service) nikenda ikundi bibinini bia TIST bianda miti ya gintwire ndene ya miitu ya thirirkari iria iri nterene cia ruuji na naria ruuji ruumaga. Gukurukithua guku kuri na gitumi nuntu bwa mantu jamaingi. 1. Ni kuuga antu bangi niboonaga na bakaimbiria ati miti iria arimi ba TIST bakuanda, na ngugi inyingi iria atongeria ba TIST ba uthumba bakuthithia, iri na baita ja mma kiri rera, antu na kuthongomia gukaranira kwa mithemba mwanya ya nyomoo na imera. 2. Ni kuuga ati mantu jaria TIST ikirite jathingatwa ndene ya ngugi cietu iria tuthithanagiria ndene ya ikundi bietu bibinini na cluster, ngugi yetuiria tuugaga nituthithtitie ikethirwa iri iria irio yongwa. 3. Ngugi iji iria irio yongwa igatuma aguri betu batwitikie nikenda tuumba kwendia ndene ya thoko ya ruugo. Irietu riambere kwendia ruugo rwetu ruria miti yetu iria tuandite iikaga na kwou ikareta mbeca cia kuria mbeca cia miti na cia kumenyeera ati TIST nikunenea na nikugia inya. Clean air Action Corporation (CAAC), imwe ya aambiria ba muradi jwa TIST, Munini wa munene wayo augire: "Kugaruka kwa naria gututhiurukite nikwendaga umma na weru kiri kwirana jaria jagukarika ngugi yarikia kuritwa.

Nandi, nitwiji namma ati TIST iri baita nyingi kiri rera, gukaranira kwa nyomoo na imera bia mithemba imingi mwanya mwanya na kiri arimi nkuruki ya ngiri mirongo itantatu baria baandite nkuruki ya miti milioni ikumi ndene ya miaka ikumi iu ithiri." Nitugwirirua TIST ndene ya Kenya niuntu bwa ngugi iria tukuthithia na njira iria ikuruguka. Ngugi itari na umma na ujuru ya Atari miti kigi ngugi iria TIST ithithagia niyari na bata mono kiri gukinyira untu bubu. Nikenda TIST ikurukithua na isainirwa ni VCS na CCB, niyetagia utari miti na ngugi iji niyendaga gutegwa kairi ni antu bangi baria bati ndene ya TIST. Kambuni igitwa Environmental Services, Inc, (ESI) niyatumire antu Kenya beja gutega ngugi iria muradi jwa TIST ithithitie iria ikwoneka. Kuringana na Shawn McMahon wa kambuni iu ya ESI, muradi jwa TIST ni muunganio jwa kurigaria jwa guciumwa kwa murimi na kumenyeera utari na wiki bwa ngugi. "Nitukeni ati mubango jwa TIST jwa gintuura ndene ya Kenya nijuumbene kiri utegi ngugi bwetu buria bwithagirwa buri bwa iguru mono.

TIST niiteithagiriria kunyihia ikuu cia ciana na njira nyingi: Kilimo Hai nikiongagirira magetha na kwagirithia mirire. TIST niithomithagia uhuthiri wa neti cia rwagi niguo kugitira malaria, na riiko riega ritari na ndogo nyingi niguo kugitira atumia na ciana. Micemanio-ii ya TIST nikuo atumia maragia uhoro wa janjo cia ciana utheru na maundu mangi megii ciana niguo cikure wega. Goal 5:ugima mwega wa mwiri wa atumia aritu. Ikuu nyingi ci ciana itari njiare ciumanaga na kwaga umenyereri mwega.atumia athini, aria matangiona mbeca cia maternity, maciaragira micii na kwa uguo kiikia ugwatini wao gukua kana mwana kana o eri. TIST kuma marihi ma miti niikagira hinya ugima mwega wa mwirina kugia na insuarance iria ingimateithiahamwe na micii yao. TIST ikoretwo ikihinyiriria amemba makorwo na Insuarance ya NHIF. Goal 6: kuhurana na HIV/AIDS, Malaria na mirimu ingi miingi. HIV/AIDS na Malaria ikoretwo iri thina munene kuri mabururi maria marakura. Thutha wa kumenya ati mirimu ino niihinyagiriria uthii wan a-nambere, TIST niikoragwoikirite HIV/AIDS hari mutaratara wao. Riria waingira niuthomithagio kwigitira kumana na mirimu ino. Wa bata ni ati, thiiini waMeru na Nyanyuki, Malaria nimathiite na-mbere KIKUYU VERSION 4 kwongerera guthira kwa barafu Mt. Kenya thutha wa guthuka kwa maria maturigiciirie. Makinya maria moetwo ni ikundi nini ciaTIST makuhanda miti million nyingi. Goal 7: Kumenyerera maria maturigiciirie. Muigana wa greenhouse gases iria itumaga kugie na ugaruruku wa riera niuthiite nambere na kuingiha na niti igathii na-mbere na gutemwo na kwa uguo kurehe ng’aragu, na kwongerera Malaria na kwaga mbura iria irathukia urimi. Maria maturigiciirie mega nimo muthingi wa TIST. Arimi nimamenyagirira mititu, kugitira tiiri na njui. Arimi a TIST nimakoretwo makigitira maria maturigiciiriie. Nimarutite wira na hinya kuhanda miti miingi. Ta uriatwamenyithio ni ati miti 5million niihanditwo ni arimi a TIST. Goal 8: kugia na ngwataniro ya uthii wan a-mbere. Arimi a TIST nimakoretwo kuhitukira mutaratara uyu na biasharanjeru- biashara ya Carbon Credit. Ikundi nicikoretwo cikiamukira mbeca nyingi o mwaka mbere ya kuhanda miti ingi miingi.

Controlling Mosquitoes During wet seasons, malaria infections become common. Mosquitoes, which are responsible for the spread of malaria pathogens, breed fast. It is important to look after your homes to reduce the presence of mosquitoes. These steps can help:

• Clear your compound of any unwanted bushes or grasses.

• Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Stagnant water provides breeding ground for mosquitoes

• Clear away any leftover food over-night.

• Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit.

• Sweep your house and compound daily.

• Remember to use mosquito nets when possible.

Kuma ivinda yiu ikundi ngili muonza (7,000) nimeyiandikithitye. Kila kikundi kithyaa na mamemba thanthatu nginya ikumi na eli (6- 12) ovamwe na iveti makithukuma vamwe kwailya mivango yoo. Undu ula munene mekaa ni uvandi wa miti, ikundi nisyinengawa ndivi kwa kila muti muvande wi thayu. Ikundi nivundiawa maundu ma mikalile. Aa nivamwe na uvandi wa miti, kuseuvya ivuio na kiwsuvia, kwisuvia uwau wa muthelo, nderemomiile, maiko ma usuuvia ng’u vamwe na kwiyaka moene. Kuvundiwa kwikawa kwisila mbumbano sya kila mwei ila syitawa clusters kwisila muvango uu nituvikia kwianisya wendi witu kwa: Undu wa mbee: Kumina ukya na nzaa. Mungao ula niwo uetae nzaa niwithiawa nundu wa mangalata. Kutemanga miti nikutwikithasya vandu ingalata. Oundu miti yiendeewe na kusemwa nowo munyao ukwithiwa na nzaa iyingive. Undu wa mbee wa TIST ni uvandi wa miti. Ikundi nini nivundiawa undu wa kuvuia, kuvanda na kusuvia miti mbeu wa miti milioni itano katono 4 (5.4m) nivanditwe ni aimi ma TIST Kenya na kila umwe wawoniwa vata kusiia munyao na valyuko wa nzeve. Muvango uu niwuivaa aimi aa kwa kila muti muvande na ukasuviwa. Aimi nimatethekaa na ndivi ino kuendeesya na kuseuvya mathayu moo. Ti uvandi wa miti yoka, aimi ma TIST nimavundiawa uimi wa maliu ala angi uvandisya uu ni wa muvea wa UNFAO. Uimi wa mbemba na maliu angi niwongelekete kundu kuna kima aimi mambiia kuatia nzia ithi. Uu ni wonaniyo kana aimi na TIST mena liu umeanie vamwe na andu moo na maii mvisyoni wa kukwatya ni nzaa. Kundu kungi ta Meru aimi nimekuta liu na kukwata mbesa sya mavata moo. Undu wa keli: Kumanya kusoma na kuandika. Kwiyandikithya sukuru nikwithitwe kwi kwailu. TIST Kenya kwisila kwa aimi nimateithetye muvango uu wa kusoma kwa ndivi ya s/fees. Ngua sya syana, liu museo. Aimi angi nimakwatite mbeu kisomo kya Primary isioni syoo na mbesa ila maivawa kumana na uvandi wa miti. Undu wa katatu: Kumina kivathukanio kya aume na aka ovamwe na kuthuthya iveti. Muvango wa TIST niwosaa ta undu wa vata kwithya na ndongoi sya aka na aume ikundini syoo. Aka aingi nimavikiie kwithya me utongoini kuma nduani kuvikia maundu manene ma nthi. Undu wa kana: Kumina ikwu sya syana nini. TIST nisiia ikuu sya syana nini kwa nzia mbingi. Uimi wa maliu m kivathukanyo nikutasya miil. TIST nisomthasya utumii wa neti sya kusiia umuu na kwauu kusiia ndetema. Maiko me kumwe syuki nza wa vala vekuuiwa nimatethasya kuveva nzeve nzao kwa syana na amwaitu.

Mosquitoes, which are responsible for the spread of malaria pathogens, breed fast. It is important to look after your homes to reduce the presence of mosquitoes. These steps can help:

• Clear your compound of any unwanted bushes or grasses.

• Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Stagnant water provides breeding ground for mosquitoes

• Clear away any leftover food over-night.

• Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit.

• Sweep your house and compound daily.

If trees in TIST groves are cut before 30 years, buyer will not trust TIST, the project may fail. With a large grove cut, the entire TIST project around the world could fail. Gone would be the carbon revenues that will pay the farmers for their hard work. Gone will be the revenue needed to support the project for the long term. Let us thank our servant leaders for their hard work interviewing large groups and training on the importance of this commitment. Let us all commit again to keep our trees for 30 years and more. As trees grow, so will our benefits for years to come. In the year 2000, world leaders adopted the United Nations Millennium Declaration and Millennium Development Goals. Eight goals were set, including the vision of bringing half of world population out of the bondage of poverty by the year 2015. Millennium Development Goals have become a universal framework for development. These goals include: Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women Goal 4: Reduce child mortality Goal 5: Improve maternal health Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases Goal 7: Ensure Environmental sustainability Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development The TIST Program began as a response to goals set by people working together in Tanzania in July of 1999. At two seminars, the participants set goals to eradicate famine, reforest their devastated land, and address health concerns of the people, give trainings and start small groups. In December of 1999, members of the first Small Groups gathered and the basic TIST Program was born. TIST began TIST helps achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals—here’s how! before the UN Millennium Development Goals were developed, yet it is exciting to see how closely aligned the vision of those first Small Group members was to the vision of 189 world leaders who gathered later that year. As TIST has matured, it has responded to more needs and requests expressed by members of the Small Groups. It now encompasses most of the UN Millennium Development Goals in its program of activities. TIST works within rural communities in six developing countries: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, India, Nicaragua and Honduras. It has immensely contributed in responding positively to the goals highlighted above. TIST has made both direct and indirect interventions. Both efforts have drastically changed lives of thousands of people. Here in Kenya, the program was introduced in August 2004. Within the six years it has been in operation, over 7,000 Small Groups have joined the program. Each Small Group is made of 6 to 12 subsistence farmers, men and women, working together to achieve shared goals. The main focus of TIST groups is on reforestation, with groups receiving an incentive for each tree they plant and keep alive. Alongside this, groups receive a holistic training program adapted to the most pressing needs of the local ENGLISH VERSION 3 community. Currently this includes training on tree-planting, nursery development and management, sustainable agriculture, HIV/ AIDS, malaria prevention, nutrition, fuel efficient stoves, riparian areas conservation and protection and capacity building skills. Training is conducted through a program of seminars and through local trainers facilitating monthly group meetings known as Cluster Trainings / meetings. Through these efforts, the program helps achieve the MDGs in the following ways;

Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. One of the major causes of drought that results in hunger is desertification. Deforestation contributes to desertification. As more areas continue to lose millions of trees, the drought intensifies, and with it, food crisis and insecurity. The main focus of TIST program is reforestation. The program is working with Small Groups where members are trained on nursery development and management, species selection and tree planting best practices. So far, over 5.4 million trees have been planted by TIST Kenya farmers, and each is important in the fight against desertification and climate change. The program provides a small incentive to farmers for every tree they plant and keep alive. This has supplemented their income hence they are able to meet their basic needs. Besides planting trees, TIST participants are trained on Conservation Farming. This farming technique, developed by UNFAO, has boosted maize and other crop production by an average of four fold since it was introduced to TIST farmers. This has meant that more TIST members now have enough food for themselves and their families and are no longer hungry. In some areas, such as Meru region, farmers are now selling surplus produce to the market, thus supplementing their incomes. Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education. Primary school enrollment has not been a major TIST issue in Kenya. With the Government introduction of free primary education, nearly all children of school age are enrolled. However, the stipend paid for the trees helps pay for school fees and clothing, and with better nutrition, children are better able to learn. A number of TIST members have made personal efforts to support education in some of the primary schools in the region. Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women. The TIST program puts a lot of emphasis on both rotational leadership and servant leadership, two of TIST’s Small Group “best practices.” TIST Best Practice is that every Small Group should exercise rotational leadership, practice servant leadership and “building up” of that week’s leader. Through these Best Practices, women are empowered to take leadership roles and be equally involved with men in making decisions for their Small Groups. Their leadership qualities are identified and supported through “building up” and then harnessed for the good of the group as a whole. Many women who are in TIST Small Groups have reported that they begin to participate more actively in the leadership and development of their groups as well as in their villages and in the larger society. Goal 4: Reduce child mortality. TIST helps reduce child mortality in several ways: Conservation Farming improves harvest and so can improve nutrition. TIST trains on the use of mosquito nets to reduce childhood malaria, and trains on fuel-efficient stoves that vent the smoke outside the cooking area so women and children don’t breathe it. TIST cluster meetings are good places for community organizations to share information on vaccinations, hygiene, nutrition and other best practices to protect infants and children and help them to grow strong. .

Goal 5: Improve maternal health. Most maternal deaths are caused by lack of access to maternal health care. Poor women, unable to raise maternity fees, often opt for home delivery and do not receive any care during their pregnancy, and in many cases of birth complications, the mother and/or child can die. TIST, with the income from the incentives for live trees, encourages families to take health insurance coverage that will not only cater for pregnant mothers but also the entire family. TIST is has been encouraging members to join National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) scheme. Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases. HIV/AIDS and malaria continue to be among the biggest challenges in developing countries. In realization that these two scourges affect all sectors of development, the TIST ENGLISH VERSION 4 program includes training on HIV/AIDS and malaria in its program. Upon joining the program, members of the Small Groups receive training on preventive measures of both epidemics. Significantly, in Meru and Nanyuki areas, cases of malaria have continued to rise as glaciers on the cap of Mount Kenya continue to melt and temperatures rise. This is the result of global climate change. Efforts made by the Small Groups to plant millions of trees aim to reverse the warming trend. Goal 7: Ensure Environmental sustainability. Levels of greenhouse gases that contribute to global climate change have continued to rise over the years and forests around the world continue to be cleared and degraded. This has driven climate change and desertification, increased the number of malaria zones and contributed to the harsh climatic conditions that have a negative impact on agriculture. Environmental sustainability is the foundation of the TIST program and its community forestry focus. Farmers restore forests, prevent soil erosion, and protect rivers. TIST farmers have been in forefront in mitigating climate change. They have worked tirelessly to plant and care for millions of trees. As mentioned above, over 5 million trees in Kenya alone are alive as a result of the Small Group members’ efforts. The program has resonated within the communities with overwhelming requests to exp TIST in new areas. Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development. TIST farmers have discovered, through the program, a new global business –the Carbon Credit Business. Small Groups are receiving millions of shillings every year as an advance on sales that will occur when trees have grown large. TIST Kenya sold its first validated and verified carbon credits this year. The program has opened this international market and communication channel to TIST participants. Knowledge transfer cannot be overemphasized. TIST Trainers and Quantifiers have been trained and exposed on Palm Computer Technology and Internet, as well as on climate change and local action to fight it. Information has been flowing smoothly between TIST participants in Kenya and their counterparts in USA, UK, East Africa and India making exchange of ideas possible.

Exchange programs have been promoted across the East African countries. More often, TIST participants from Uganda and Kenya visit each other a study tours for seminars and field visits to share Best Practices and to strengthen and build TIST farmers globally. Truly, TIST develops global partnerships for development. Now that the rains have started, you should already have transplanted your seedlings into your groves. If you have not yet transplanted your seedlings, you should do so as quickly as possible. Your seedlings need to be transplanted now so that they can grow strong in the rainy season and survive the drier months. The most important activity this month is to weed your seedlings. Keep the area where your seedlings are as clean as possible. Pull up any weeds that are growing near your seedlings. Weeding is important for these reasons: 1. Your seedlings need water, soil nutrients and light to grow strong. If there are weeds they will compete with your seedling for these things. The weeds will use the soil nutrients and water that your seedlings need. The result is that your seedlings will be weaker and may not survive. 2. If your area is not weeded, there will be more pests attracted to the area. Pests can damage and kill your seedlings. The fewer weeds there are, the less chance there will be of snakes and insects. Here are some of the advantages of weeding your groves:

• Trees grow faster because weeds don’t take the nutrients and water from the soil

• Trees will become stronger and grow taller in a shorter period of time

• Trees can get the sunlight they need unhindered

• Trees are not exposed to as many diseases

• Trees are more protected from a fire spreading

• Clean groves indicate that Small Groups are maintaining them and are good examples of the TIST program. This will attract many people to come and see your work.

• Ugali (stiff porridge made from maize) and thinner porridge made out of maize, sorghum, millet, finger millet or cassava.

• Rice.

• Sweet potatoes or Irish potatoes. Note that oils and fats, in moderation, provide energy as well as add taste to the food. 2: Are used for body building (Proteins)

• Meat (beef, chicken, goat, mutton, duck, guinea fowl).

• Fish (sardines, tilapia, Nile perch, mudfish).

• Eggs.

• Milk.

• Legumes (beans, cowpeas, green grams, peas).

• Ground nuts. 3: Are sources of Vitamins Vitamin A is especially important for keeping people living with HIV/AIDS. Many vitamins, especially Vitamin A, are available in enough quantities from:

• Green vegetables (cowpea leaves, okra, cassava leaves).

• Orange fleshed vegetables (orange-fleshed sweet potato)

• Plantain (matoke)

• Fruits, especially those with a yellow color (oranges, pawpaws, mangoes, ripe bananas, guavas) Drink - Sick people need to drink a lot of water. Drinking water should be boiled for at least 10 minutes, cooled, and stored in a clean, covered container. Clean water is important for all members of the family, but is especially critical to those with a chronic illness, since they cannot fight other diseases as well as someone who is strong. - If the patient has chronic diarrhea you can make a simple rehydration drink to help replace the fluids the patient has lost. Dissolve six teaspoons of sugar and half a teaspoon of salt in one liter of clean water. Add fruit juice to make it taste better. Remember the basic hygiene principles. If you are preparing food for someone who is ill make a special effort to ensure your hands are clean, food is washed and cooked properly, and that eating utensils are thoroughly cleaned and dried. Nutrition for long-time patients Joining TIST in 2005 has helped open us to many other opportunities. Besides the trees incentives we receive from TIST and training on energy-efficient jikos, other organizations have reached out to us because of our well-organized group. We couldn’t have achieved this long-term group cohesion and stability were it not for TIST training in servant and rotational leadership. Organizations such as NALEP have helped us with polytubes, and our efforts to plant trees Muguna Small Group: We are proud to be in TIST By Joseph Thitai. in public lands have borne fruits. We have also planted different species of trees in our own shambas. So far, we have planted over 2000 trees of different species including indigenous trees such as mitero. We also have Neem, Mikinduri, Avacodos, Mipera, Gravellia and many others Our group has 8 members. Our TIST number is 2006KE56. We belong to Male cluster. ENGLISH VERSION 6 For a long time, living in the semiarid area of Tharaka district, we thought our problems will be solved by government or other big organizations. Never did it occur to us that we can solve these problems by ourselves. So, when TIST was introduced in our area, we were happy that one such big organization had come to help us out of our harsh hardships. We expected to see huge and expensive projects being carried out while we waited for the fruits. We were wrong. We were told in TIST, we will have to do the work by ourselves. We were trained to form Small Groups of 6-12 members.

So we formed Friends United TIST Small Group. We are in 7 in number. Now, we waited for money to come in our group from TIST. Again, we were wrong. We were trained on how to establish tree nurseries and take care of the seedlings. So, we did establish a small tree nursery and waited for TIST to come and buy seedlings from us. We got it wrong again! Instead, we got training on how to transplant the seedlings in our own lands. Sooner than later, we found our lands become green as trees began to flourish. We began to realize the benefits. Our Mango and orange trees have started to bear fruits. Our trees have been counted – we are expecting payments from TIST soon. So we thought, why not try TIST’s Conservation Farming practices. We met as a group and made a resolution that some of us should try this farming technique. Susan prepared 1015 CF holes, Regina 100 holes, Janet 50 holes, Robert 988 holes. All of us got better and improved crop yield from our plots. Now everybody wants to practice CF. Again, we have joined hands with other Small Groups in our Matakiri Cluster to plant indigenous trees along the riparian areas. We intend to plant more trees this rainy season. Together with other groups, we have started a village saving and credit association. This association helps us to save and also borrow when we require loans to improve our productivity. Further, we have begun to adopt and construct energy efficient jikos. This will help us not to cut down our trees too often. Bounded together by the spirit of hard work, self-reliance and togetherness, we have begun to realize steady positive transformation. Friends United TIST Small Group: A steady Transformation. By Susan Kinanu English name: Waterberry Scientific Name: Syzygium guineense Kikuyu Name: Mukoe Kimeru: Muriru This tree usually occurs in lowland rain forest and mountain rain forests. It commonly grows in moist conditions, sometimes even in water, and is usually found along streams. It is an excellent tree for reducing erosion and protecting stream banks. Seeds need no pre-sowing treatment, as germination rates are good and uniform. Rates of 80- 90% are attained after 20 to 50 days. Direct sowing into pots is recommended. Fruits are perishable hence should be picked from the ground soon after falling. They may also be collected by shaking the branches with hooks. After collection, the fruits should be sown out immediately, as seeds will lose viability if they are dried; if this is not possible, fruit can be stored for a few days in moist sawdust and open containers in well-ventilated rooms Uses: Food (fruit), bee forage, timber, fuel wood, shade, medicine (fruit is used as a remedy for dysentery, while a decoction of the bark is used to prevent diarrhoea). Note the poisonous bark has been reported to cause human deaths, so advice should be sought from people experienced in using the products from this tree. TIST Tree of the Month of June: Waterberry Tree Today, we celebrate a big achievement for TIST farmers and servant leaders, and an exciting new opportunity. VCS and CCBA Validation and Verification—TIST is first in the world! TIST has been Validated and Verified for their work in Kenya against the VCS (Verified Carbon Standard) and also by the CCB (Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards) – the two most highly regarded certification standards for carbon reduction projects. TIST is the only project in the world to have achieved dual certification! Additionally, on June 6, TIST is scheduled to be signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kenya Forest Service (KFS) for TIST Small Groups to plant indigenous trees in gazetted forests riparian and catchment areas. The certification is important for many reasons. 1. It means other people see and support that the trees TIST farmers are planting, and the work that servant leaders are doing, have real benefits for climate, for people, and for improving biodiversity. 2. It means that by following TIST Values in our work together in our Small Groups and clusters, we are getting accurate data. This accurate data means that carbon credit customers trust us, so we can sell on the carbon market. 3. It is our first sale of carbon stored by trees we have planted, and so provides the funds for our tree incentives and to keep TIST growing and strong.

Clean Air Action Corporation (CAAC), one of the founders of the TIST Project, Vice President Charlie Williams commented: “Environmental change requires a commitment to honesty and transparency of results. TIST’s goal was to empower subsistence farmers to be a part of the global marketplace and motivate responsible environmental decisions. Now, we have conclusive proof that TIST is providing enormous benefits to the climate, to biodiversity, and to the more than 60,000 farmers, who have planted more than 10 million trees, in the last 10 years.” The accurate, complete data collected by Quantifiers on the work TIST does was very important to this achievement. For TIST to be Validated and Verified by VCS and CCB Standards, the program’s data collection and process needed to be audited by a third party firm. Environmental Services, Inc, (ESI) sent a team to Kenya to investigate the results indicated by the TIST program. According to ESI’s Shawn McMahon, the TIST program is an impressive mixture of farmer dedication and data management. “We witnessed firsthand TIST’s significant impact in Kenya through sequestering carbon, supporting local communities, and enhancing biodiversity. TIST management and field staff were professional, a pleasure to work with, and clearly Celebrating TIST Kenya for the work we do and new opportunities! www .tist.org have a passion for improving the livelihood of Kenyans and mitigating the effects of global climate change. ESI is proud to play a role in these important projects.” The announcement that the project also achieves the requirements of the CCB Standards represents an important endorsement of the TIST program. The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Project Design Standards are considered a benchmark for evaluating land-based carbon mitigation projects. According to Dr. Joanna Durbin, Director of the CCBA, the independent audit process has shown that the TIST program meets their strict requirements and is indeed an impressive world first in dual Validation and Verification. She had this to say regarding the TIST program accomplishment: “We are delighted that TIST’s community-based project in Kenya has met our rigorous CCB Standards. We are also excited to see a project - for the first time - move beyond validation of project design to being fully ‘CCB Verified’, demonstrating that the project has actually been implemented following best practices in community engagement and is delivering truly significant benefits for the local communities and the environment.” The CCB Validation and Verification matters to buyers of offsets, who want to know that the projects they support through their purchases benefit people, climate, and diversity of life. This continued success and expansion TIST program has been supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). As a result, TIST farmers are combating the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in the world: deforestation and poor agricultural practices. Working together, more than 60,000 strong, TIST farmers are reversing their contribution to climate change and becoming an important part of the solution. USAID Kenya Mission Director, Erna Kerst, is convinced the program is making a difference. “TIST has been innovative and bold from the beginning. I’m not surprised they’re the first in the world to achieve this double distinction. TIST is pioneering a triple win—for farmers, for Kenya’s environment, and for proving some of the technology needed tosafeguard our climate. We are very proud of our collaboration on this program.”

Controlling Mosquitoes During wet seasons, malaria infections become common. Mosquitoes, which are responsible for the spread of malaria pathogens, breed fast. It is important to look after your homes to reduce the presence of mosquitoes. These steps can help:

• Clear your compound of any unwanted bushes or grasses.

• Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Stagnant water provides a breeding ground for mosquitoes

• Clear away any leftover food overnight.

• Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit.

• Sweep your house and compound daily.

• Remember to use mosquito nets when possible. KIKAMBA VERSION 2 Kwiyiunga na clusters nikutumaa ikundi ikomana, ikasoma vamwe na kukwata uvoo wa uvandi wa miti na ndivi.
