Page 6 Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 M utamaiyu Cluster is one of the (3) child clusters recruited from Munyu Cluster by Mary Kathei and Anselim Gitahi, a former Trainer. It has 18 Small Groups whose application forms are ready and eagerly waiting for registration forms to sign so that they can start enjoying tree carbon payments. This cluster meets every 4th Wednesday of the month and our next meeting will be on the 26th March 2014 at Mutamaiyu chief’s post from 10:00a.m to 12:00 noon. Mutamaiyu Cluster: Ready to get going. T IST Help-To-Help (H2H) Program allows (5) TIST farmers per Cluster to receive a loan of 5kg of Green Gram (mung bean). When this is harvested, those farmers give 5g of Green Gram to two more farmers. Green Gram does very well in areas that are semi-arid. TIST farmers prefer crops with short growing and harvesting season and Green Gram is a crop that takes a short time to mature. Most of the time, regular rainfall is not enough to help Green Gram grow properly. This planting season most of our area farmers experienced rather poor harvest of ½ sack because the rains failed to come. 

In the previous seasons when rains were plentiful, most farmers harvested 3 sacks and more depending on how each farmer had taken care of his farm. Weeding and spraying the crop to control pests is important to the success of Green Gram. Clusters wanting to be included in TIST H2H Green Gram Program can contact Jeniffer Kithure at 0726319539. Green Gram harvest this season. By Elizabeth Nkio ENGLISH VERSION 3 a. African cherry (Prunus Africana, Kikyuyu: Muiri, Kimeru: Mweria) This indigenous tree is mainly found in forest reserves where seeds are available in forests during the dry season. Collect only dark brown ripe fruits from the crown of the tree or the ground. Remove the pulp by soaking for 24 hours, then wash over a wire mesh. Spread in a thin layer in an airy shaded place to dry – but for 4 hours only. 

The seed does not store well, so use the fresh seed.Wrapping moist leaves around the seed minimizes moisture loss during temporary transport and storage. Sow directly into the seedbed or pots with germination taking 6-8 weeks. These indigenous trees have many uses such as, repelling some pests like aphids, and nematodes (those which attack crops) by its smell. Flowers have sufficient nectar and pollen for good bee forage and these trees produce high-quality firewood. Medicines can be found in the liquid extracts from bark and are used in the treatment of prostate cancer. 

Leaves are used as an inhalant for fever or are drunk as an infusion to improve appetite. Water is added to pounded bark, and the red liquid is used as a remedy for stomachache; bark extract may be used as a purgative for cattle. For erosion control these trees can be grown along contour ridges and terraces, which provide useful shade and act as a windbreak. When used as a soil improver, the leaves can be used as mulch and green manure. They serve also as an ornamental and make an attractive garden shade tree. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera, Kikuyu: Mukurwe) This tree is commonly found in the lowland and upland rainforests and in open habitats near forests. Either untreated or soaked seeds are sown while fresh seeds need no pre-treatment. Stored seeds are soaked in warm water and left to cool to room temperature. The seed coat may be nicked at the cotyledon end to hasten germination. Seed germination is good approximately 70-80% of the time within 10 days. Seeds should be collected while still on the tree to minimize insect damage and stored for at least a year if kept dry and insect free through addition of ash.

 Peacock Flower trees are useful for bee-forage, fuel wood, timber, gum, and tannin. Medicinal properties come from the extracts of the crushed pods and are given for stomach pains. The bark is used as a decoction mash for malaria and the root system holds soil well and prevents gulley erosion. These trees provide shade, nitrogen fixing (improves the soil) and is known as a good mulch tree as leaf litter is abundant during the leaf shedding season. Peacock Flower trees are ornamental when planted in town avenues for aesthetic purposes, boundary planting; the leaves quicken the ripening process in bananas. c. African wild olive (Olea Africana, Kikyuyu: Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata) This evergreen tree is found in a variety of habitats, usually near water, on stream banks, and also in open woodlands. It is resistant to both frost and drought, while the fresh seeds are used for sowing. Old seeds can be soaked in cold water for 48 hours before using. Seeds are often pre-treated by cracking with a hand vice or by rolling a stone over seeds.This is because removing the endocarp can enhance germination.The seeds can be stored at dry room temperature for a few years. Food from these trees is obtained mainly through olive products like olive oil and edible olives. 

The plants are much browsed on by livestock for fodder. African wild olive trees are used for fuel, timber, charcoal, toothbrushes and ornaments. These trees have a high drought tolerance suggesting it is a good candidate for reforestation in semi-arid zones of Africa with the capacity to beautify the landscape. d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense, Kikyuyu: Mukoe, Kimeru: Muriru) This tree usually occurs in lowland rain forest and mountain rain forest areas. It commonly grows in moist conditions, sometimes even in water, and is usually found along streams. Seeds need no pre-sowing treatment, as germination rates are good and uniform up to 80- 90% is attained after 20 to 50 days. Direct sowing into pots is recommended. Waterberry fruits are perishable and should be picked from the ground soon after falling. Shaking the branches with hooks will help in collecting them. 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. Best Tree Species: Indigenous trees. ENGLISH VERSION 4 These trees provide many uses like fruit, bee forage, timber, 

fuel wood, shade, and medicine. The fruit is used as a remedy for dysentery, while a decoction of the bark is used to prevent diarrhea. Use caution when dealing with the poisonous bark. It has been reported to cause human deaths, so advice should be sought from people experienced in using the products from this tree. e. Avocado (Persea Americana) Avocado trees tend to grow in all moist areas and normally planted around the home. To start, soak the seeds in cold water for 24 hours, then plant directly into pots. Use fresh seeds, as they do not store well. Seedlings can also be grafted with germination taking 3-4 weeks with spacing at least 6m and intercrop well with beans. These trees provide firewood, charcoal, food, shade, cosmetics, and oil.The fruit is nutritious, rich in fat, protein and vitamins.The bark, leaves and seeds are toxic to browsing animals so take caution. Give avocado trees a try – they are a good income-earner. f. Guava (Psidium guajava, Kikuyu: Mubera) Guava trees require rainfall and are drought resistant but can’t tolerate waterlogging.

 Their seeds take no pre-treatment with germination in approximately 3 weeks when spaced 4m apart. Under favorably conditions it will bear fruit in 3-4 years. These trees perform well when intercropped with fodder crops such as maize, sorghum and cowpeas. These trees are useful for firewood, charcoal, poles, food, and edible fruit rich in vitamin C and A.An added bonus – the wood is termite resistant. None of this tree goes to waste as the dried ripe fruits are recommended as a remedy for dysentery, while the leaves and fruits are used as a cure for diarrhea. Guava oil exhibits antiinflammatory properties while the leaves or bark are made into a lotion for skin complaints, ringworm, wounds, and ulcers.

The leaves are also used for digestive tract ailments, cold, and high blood pressure, trauma, pain, headache, and rheumatism. Guava juice can be used to help hepatitis, gonorrhea, and diarrhea. g. Mango (Mangifera indica) Mango trees need well-drained soil and do quite well in dry areas. Try to avoid water logging.When planting mango seeds, no pre-treatment is required, although nipping the seed helps germination. Seeds can be stored up to a month at room temperature, but fresh seeds are best or grafts work well. Mango trees offer many uses like fuel wood, fruit, fodder, bee-forage, windbreaks, mulch, shade, soil conservation, and gum. What is the environment? The Oxford Dictionary defines it as the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal or plant lives or operates. These surroundings include the land, soil, water, buildings, political structures, and social networks. Everything we do as humans has an impact on the environment - it does not just affect us here and now. We also have to consider our impact over time. 

The way we treat the environment today will affect the quality of life for future generations. Ask yourself these questions: - What kind of world do you want your children and grandchildren to inherit? - How important will the quality of the environment be to my children? - Is it important to consider future generations? - Do they have rights? Our everyday activities not only have a local effect, but can also have a regional and global effect. As an example, the Nile Basin is a major source of water for many Northeastern African countries. 

If Uganda decided to block the water, then Sudan and Egypt would suffer. If affects all of us. Planting trees in East Africa is helping western countries to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions. By planting TIST trees in your field, you are helping to improve the atmosphere of the whole world. Considering our environment now is not only essential for our quality of life in this area, but is important for future generations and other parts of the world. Environmental education is so important – share this information with your neighbors. Sustainable Development. ENGLISH VERSION 5 A thi cluster is now approaching a TIST vision for every Cluster to form a SACCO. SACCO’s are Savings and Credit Cooperative Organizations that are owned, managed and run by the members. Members of the SACCO can issue loans to Small Groups. In Athi Cluster, every Small Group brings 120KSH to their Cluster Meeting where the money is collected and given to Small Groups that need a loan. At the same time, the ones that received a loan from a previous Cluster meeting repay their loan. When the loans are repaid, it includes an interest payment of 200KSH. As an example,

 if a Small Group was given a loan of 900KSH, they pay back a total of 1100KSH. Athi cluster has 18 Small Groups and at every meeting they give 15 Small Groups loans to boost their tree planting and nursery preparation activities. This helps the Cluster to be strong. The capital collected for this loan program was a total of 15080/KSH as a revolving fund for helping their Small Groups get started. Athi Custer plans to register their group with the Social Services office so they will be accepted to interact with the Ministry of Co-Operative to prepare and register as a SACCO. Mr. William Mwito, 

Athi Cluster Servant, reiterated that for a Cluster to have a sustainable project and seek support from other agencies boosts the Cluster and community at large. On February 2, 2014, members of the Athi Cluster in Meru met to collect loan repayments. The funds collected from these loan repayments were used to give loans to other Small Groups so they are able to plant more TIST trees and start nurseries like Athi Cluster! Athi Cluster joined TIST in April 2013 and currently has 18 Small Groups, 69 members and has planted a total of 14,697 trees. Athi Cluster approaching TIST vision - SACCO. 

By: Lucy Munjuri ENGLISH VERSION 6 Hand 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. Published by TIST-Kenya.

Ina vikundi vidogo kumi na nane ambavyo fomu zao zipo tayari kwani zilijazwa miezi saba iliyopita. Wakulima wanangoja kwa amu kupewa fomu za kujisajili ili watie saini ndiposa waanze kufurahia malipo ya kaboni.

 Cluster hii hukutana kila jumatano ya nne ya kila mwezi – hivyo basi mkutano wetu unaokuja utakuwa tarehe ishirini na sita, mwezi wa tatu, 2014 pale ofisi ya chifu ya Mutamaiyu kutoka saa nne hadi saa sita mchana. M radi wa TIST wa Saidiwa-Usaidie (H2H) huruhusu wakulima watano wa TIST kuchukua mkopo wa kilo tano za ndengu na wanapovuna nao, hupeana kilo tano kwa wakulima wengine wawili au watatu. Mmea wa ndengu hufanya vizuri sana katika makao yaliyo kame. Wakulima wa TIST hupendelea mimea inayochukua muda mdogo kukua na kuvunwa na ndengu ni mma unaochukua muda mfupi kukomaa. Mara nyingi, mvua ya kila baada ya wakati haisaidii ndengu kukua inavyofaa. Msimu huu wa kupanda wakulima wengi walipata vuno baya la nusu gunia kwani mvua ilikosa. Katika misimu iliyopita, mvua ilipotosha, wakulima wengi walipata gunia tatu na Zaidi kulingana na jinsi kila mkulima alivyolichunga shamba lake. Kupalilia na kupulizia dawa dhidi ya wadudu ni muhimu katika mafanikio ya ndengu. Cluster zinazotaka kuingizwa katika mradi huu wa Saidiwa-Usaidie zaweza kumfikia Jeniffer Kithure kwa nambari 0726319539. Cluster ya Mutamaiyu: Ipo tayari kusonga mbele. Vuno la ndengu msimu huu. Umeletewa habari na Elizabeth Nkio KISWAHILI VERSION 3 a. Prunus africana (Kikuyu: Muiri,

 Kimeru: Mweria) Mti huu wa kiasili unapatikana sana katika hifadhi za misitu. Mbegu zipo misituni wakati wa kiangazi. Kusanya tu matunda yaliyoiva ya hudhurungi kutoka taji la mti ama ardhini. Toa rojo kwa kulowesha masaa ishirini na nne, kisha uoshe juu ya waya wenye matundu. Eneza kwa safu nyembamba katika eneo lililo na hewa na lililo na kivuli ili kukauka- lakini kwa masaa nne pekee. Mbegu haikai kwa hivyo tumia mbegu mpya. Kufungia majani yakizunguka mbegu hupunguza upotevu wa unyevu wakati wa kusafirisha na kuweka. Panda kitaluni au mifukoni moja kwa moja. Kuota huchukua wiki sita kufika nane. Matumizi: Dawa ya kukimbiza wadudu waharibifu: yaweza kukimbiza wadudu waharibifu kamachawa, viwavi(ambao hushambulia mimea) kwa harufu yake. Maua yana nta na poleni tosha ya kulisha nyuki. Ina kuni bora.Dawa:Rojo kutoka kwa gome hutumiwa kutibu uvimbe wa kibofu. Majani hutumiwa kuvuta ili kutibu homa ama kunywa kama njia ya kuboresha hamu ya kula. Maji huongezwa kwa gome lililopondwa na maji hayo mekundu kutumiwa kutibu maumivu ya tumbo; dondoo la gome kutumiwa kulisha ng’ombe.Kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo:Miti yaweza kupandwa matutani, huwa na kivuli chenye manufaa na huzuia upepo. Huboresha udongo. Majani yaweza kutumiwa kufunika udongo ama kama mbolea. Urembo: Huwa mti mzuri wa kivuli unaovutia katika bustani. b. Peacock Flower (Albizia gummifera, Kikuyu: Mukurwe) Mti huu hupatikana sanasana katika misitu ya mvua iliyo mahali tambarare au nyanda za juu na katika makazi wazi karibu na misitu. Mbegu safi hazihitaji kutibiwa kwanza. Mbegu zilizowekwa huloweshwa katima maji yenye joto na kuachwa kupata baridi kwenye joto la kawaida. Gome la mbegu laweza kuvunjwa ili kuharakisha kuota. Mbegu huota vizuri, asilimia sabini kufika themanini katika siku kumi. Mbegu zafaa kukusanywa zikiwa bado mtini ilikupunguza uharibifu wa wadudu. Mbegu yaweza kuwekwa kwa muda wa mwaka mmoja ikiwekwa ikiwa kavu na mbali na wadudu kwa njia ya kuongeza majivu. Matumizi: Chakula cha nyuki, kuni, mbao, gundi, tanini,

 dawa (dondoo kutokana na kuponda maganda hutumiwa kumaliza uchungu wa tumbo na maji ya gome kutibu malaria), kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo (mizizi hushika udongo na kuzuia mmonyoko wa udongo kupitia mitaro), Kivuli, kuweka naitrojeni (huboresha udongo), hujulikana kama mti mzuri wa kufunika udongo kwa sababu majani yanayoanguka ni mengi wakati wa msimu wa kuangusha majani,Urembo(Hupandwa katika miji kwa sababu ya urembo wake),Kupanda mipaka, matawi huharakisha kuiva kwa ndizi. c. Olea africana (African wild olive, Kikyuyu: Mutamaiyu, Kimeru: Muthata) Mti huu hupatikana maeneo mengi, sana sana karibu na maji, mito na ata maporini. Ni sugu kwa baridi na kwa ukavu. Mbegu kutoka kwa matunda hutumika kuotesha. Mbegu nzee yaweza kuloweshwa kwa maji baridi kwa masaa arobaini na nane. Mbegu sanasana hutibiwa kwa kuvunja na kifaa au kwa kuachilia jiwe juu ya mbegu. Hii ni kwa sababu kutoa ngozi ya ndani ya mbegu husaidia kuota haraka. Mbegu huwekwa mahali pakavu na penye joto la kawaida kwa miaka michache. Matumizi: Chakula: Bidhaa kuu ya mzeituni ni mafuta na matunda yanayoliwa. Lishe: mimea hii huliwa na mifugo. Hutumika pia kama kuni, mbao, makaa, miswaki ya meno na kurembesha. Kuimarisha: kuwa sugu kwa ukavu inapendekeza kuwa mti huu waweza kutumika kuimarisha maeneo Africa yenye ukame. Kurembesha: mzeituni huweza kurembesha ardhi/mazingira. 

d. Waterberry (Syzygium guineense, Kikyuyu: Mukoe, Kimeru: Muriru) Mti huu sana sana hupatikana misitu iliyo kwa tambarare na iliyo milimani. Hukua sana mahali penye unyevu, mara nyingine ndani ya maji na hupatikana kando ya mito Mbegu hazihitaji kutibiwa, kwani huota haraka na vizuri. Huota kwa asilimia themanini kufika tisini kwa siku za kwanza ishirini hadi hamsini. Kuotesha mifukoni hupendekezwa. Matunda huharibika kwa yanafaa kuokotwa mara moja yakishaanguka. Yanaweza pia kwa kutikisa matawi. Ukishakusanya, matunda yanafaa kuoteshwa mara moja kwani yanaweza kupoteza uwezo wake wa kuota Aina bora zaidi ya miti: Miti ya kiasili. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 yakikauka; kama ili haliwezekani, matunda yanaweza kuwekwa kwa siku chache kwa machujo ya mbao na ndani ya mikebe kwa chumba chenye kuingiza hewa tosha. Matumizi:Chakula (Matunda), lishe ya nyuki, mbao, kuni/makaa, kivuli, dawa(tunda utumika kutibu ugonjwa wa kuhara damu, maji ya gome nayo hutumika kuzuia ugonjwa wa kuhara). Kumbuka gome ili lenye sumu limeripotiwa kuua watu, kwa hivyo tafuta ujumbe tosha kwa watu wenye uzoefu wa kutumia bidhaa za huu mti. e. Avocado (Persea americana) Ikolojia: Hukua katika maeneo yote yenye unyevu, pamoja na aina zingine zinazofaa katika maeneo kavu. Matibabu kabla ya kupanda: Lowesha mbegu katika maji baridi kwa masaa ishirini na nne, halafu panda katika mifuko. Tumia mbegu iliyoanguka wakati huo kwa sababu mbegu huharibika. Miche pia yaweza kupandikizwa. Kuota huchukua wiki tatu kufika nne na wafaa kupanda ukiachia kila mti nafasi ya mita sita. Miti hii hupandwa sanasana karibu na manyumba. Matumizi: Kuni, makaa, chakula, kivuli, vipodozi, urembo. Matunda ni lishe bora, yenye mafuta, protini

 na vitamini. Gome, majani na mbegu ni sumu kwa wanyama. Miche yaweza kupandwa pamoja na maharagwe ilipo change. Mti huu waweza kuleta pato kubwa. f. Guava (Psidium guajava, Kikuyu: Mubera) Ikolojia: Sugu kwa ukame lakini hauwezi kuvumilia mafuriko. Seeds: Hakuna matibabu ya kabla. Kukua: wiki tatu. Nafasi: mita nne. Matumizi :Kuni, makaa, fito, chakula kilicho katika tunda lililo na vitamin c na A kwa wingi. Huzaa matunda nyuma ya miaka mitatu kufika minne. Mbao hailiwi na mchwa. Matunda yaliyokauka hupendekezwa kama dawa ya kuhara, nayo majani na matunda hutumika kuponya kuhara. Mafuta hupambana na shida za kijoto. Majani na gome hutengenezwa na kuwa mafuta ambayo humaliza shida za ngozi, bato, majeraha na vidonda. Majani pia hutumika kwa shida za utumbo, baridi, na shinikizo la damu, majeraha, maumivu, kuumwa na kichwa na baridi yamisi. Maji hutumika kusaidia ugonjwa wa hepatitis, kisonono na kuharisha. Mseto: Hufanya vizuri ikipandwa pamoja na mimea ya chakula cha mifugo kama mahindi, mtama na kunde. Mti huu wa Guava waweza kuvamia katika maeneo mengine na kujaa shambani. g. Mango (Magnifera indica) Ikolojia: Hauvumilii mafuriko na wahitaji udongo usiofurika na maji. Waweza kufanya vizuri katika maeneo kavu. Mbegu: Haziitaji kutayarishwa, ingawa kutoboa mbegu kwaweza kusaidia kukua. Mbegu zaweza kuwekwa kwa muda wa mwezi mmoja chumbani, mbegu safi ni bora zaidi. Yaweza pia kutumia vipandikizi. Matumizi: Kuni, matunda, lishe ya mifugo, chakula cha nyuki,

Kamusi ya kingereza ya oxford hueleza mazingira kama vitu au hali inayozunguka anapoishi au kukaa mtu, mnyama au mmea. Haya ni pamoja na ardhi, udongo, maji, manyumba, miundo ya kisiasa na mitandao ya kijamii. Yote tunayoyafanya kama watu yana athari fulani kwa mazingira- hayatuathiri sisihapa na saa hii tu. Pia twafaa kufikiria athari za muda mrefu. Tunavyotumia mazingira yetu leo kutaathiri ubora wa maisha ya vizazi vijavyo. Jiulize maswali haya: - Ni aina gani ya ulimwengu unayotaka watoto na wajukuu wako kupata? - Hali ya mazingira itakuwa na umuhimu kiasi gani kwa watoto wako? - Ni muhimu kufikiria vizazi vijavyo? Je wana aki zipi? Shughuli zetu za kila siku hazina athari ndogo, bali pia zaweza kuwa na athari kwa eneo kubwa au nchi yote. Kama mfano, bonde la Nile ni chanzo kikubwa cha maji yanayotumika na nchi nyingi zilizo kusini mashariki mwa Afrika. Iwapo Uganda itaamua kuyazuia maji, nchi za Sudan naMisri zitateseka. Jambo ili laweza ata kutuathiri sote. Kupanda miti Afrika Mashariki kunasaidia nchi za magharibi kupunguza hewa chafu wanayotoa. Kupitia kupanda miti ya TIST katika shamba lako, unasaidia kuboresha hali ya hewa katika dunia yote. Kufikiria kuhusu mazingira wakati huu si muhimu tu kwa ubora wa maisha katika eneo hili bali ni muhimu kwa vizazi vijavyo na kwa sehemu zingine katika ulimwengu. Elimu ya mazingira ni muhimu sana- gawana habari hii na majirani wako. Maendeleo endelevu. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 C luster ya Athi sasa inakaribia kufikia ono la TIST la kila cluster kutengeneza SACCO. SACCO ni mashirika ya Akiba na

 Mikopo ni ya wanachama na yanasimamiwa na kuongozwa na wanachama. Wanachama wa SACCO waweza kupea vikundi vidogo mikopo. Katika cluster ya Athi, kila kikundi kidogo huleta mia moja ishirini kwa mkutano wa cluster ambapo pesa hukusanywa na kupewa vikundi vidogo vinavyohitaji mkopo. Wakati huo huo, waliopata mkopo katika mkutano wa cluster uliopita hulipa mkopo wao. Mikopo inapolipwa, ni pamoja na malipo ya riba ya shilingi mia mbili. Kwa mfano, iwapo kikundi kidogo kilipewa mkopo wa shilingi mia tisa, watalipa shilingi elfu moja mia moja. Cluster ya Athi ina vikundi vidogo kumi na nane na katika kila mkutano, huwapa vikundi kumi na tano mikopo ya kuongeza katika shughuli zao za upanzi wa miti na matayarisho ya vitalu. Jambo hili husaidia cluster kuwa yenye nguvu. Kila mwezi wao hukusanya elfu mbili mia moja na sitini kutokana na mradi wa mikopo miongoni mwa vikundi vidogo. Cluster ya Athi imepanga kusajili kikundi chao kwa ofisi za huduma za kijamii ili waitikiwe kufanya kazi na wizara ya Ushirika kujitayarisha na kusajiliwa kama SACCO. Bwana William Mwito, mtumishi katika cluster ya Athi, aliongezea kwamba ili cluster iwe na mradi endelevu na kupata usaidizi kutokana na mashirika mengine yanayoipa nguvu cluster na jamii kwa ujumla. Tarehe mbili februari, 2014, wanacluster ya Athi, Meru walikutana kukusanya malipo ya mikopo. Pesa zilizokusanywa kutokana na malipo ya mikopo zilitumika kuvipa vikundi vingine mikopo ili waweze kupanda miti Zaidi ya TIST na kuanzisha vitalu kama cluster ya Athi! Cluster ya TIST ilijiunga na TIST mwezi wane 2013 na ina vikundi kumi na nane, wanacluster sitini na tisa na imepanda miti elfu kumi na nne, mia sita tisini na saba. Cluster ya Athi yaelekea kufikia ono la TIST-SACCO.

 Umeletewa habari na Lucy Munjuri KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Kuosha 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. Published by TIST-Kenya.
