The majority of the farmers harvested a good crop. This year, many more farmers are practicing kilimo hai. Some of the TIST servants have enrolled in the Helped to Help (H2H) CF program, and will be pioneers in this initiative. Rains have come. Many farmers have planted. It is important that we all take care of our crops. Weeding is important for these reasons: 1. Your crops need water, soil nutrients and light to grow strong. If there are weeds they will compete with your crops for these things.The weeds will use the soil nutrients and water that your crops need.The result is that your crops 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 crops.
The fewer weeds there are, the less chance there will be of snakes and insects. CF/ Kilimo hai: Time to weed. Here are some of the advantages of weeding your fields:
• Crops grow faster because weeds don’t take the nutrients and water from the soil
• Crops will become stronger and grow taller in a shorter period of time
• Crops can get the sunlight they need unhindered
• Crops are not exposed to as many diseases
• Crops are more protected from a fire spreading
• Clean fields 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. A well weeded CF maize field. Un weeded maize field. ENGLISH VERSION 3 TIST Small Groups practice rotational leadership. Rotating leadership is where each group member takes it in turn to lead and co-lead the group meeting. There is no one single leader – the responsibility is equally shared amongst everybody. The groups say that rotational leadership has some of the benefits, which include:
• Each person has different ways of leading, and each person has different gifts. Rotating the leadership means group members can all learn from each other about leadership.
• If everyone is supportive and encouraging, even shy group members will have the chance to grow in confidence and leadership abilities. We are able to learn something from everyone.
• Rotating leadership also reduces the stress of one person being responsible all the time. Because the responsibility is equally shared, no one person should be overly burdened or tired by the job.
• Rotating the leadership means there will be fewer problems if one person likes to dominate the conversation and be in charge all the time. Each person will have his or her own chance to lead the meeting. What your Group needs to do to start practicing Rotational Leadership.
• A group decides that the leadership will rotate.
• Make a list of Small Group members and start down the list.
The co-leader becomes the leader at the next meeting, and the next person on the list will be the co-leader.
• At the end of each meeting, make sure that the next leader and co-leader know that they will be leading the next meeting.
• Make sure to pass any teaching materials on to the next leader.
• Everyone will get a chance to lead and co-lead.
• If a group member does not want to lead, or is shy, the group can let him or her be lower on the list.This way they can see the example of others leading, and they have the chance to co-lead before leading.
• The rotating leader should help keep anyone from dominating the discussion.
• Remember to wait for people to speak after asking a question. TIST: Rotating Leadership. As groups practice rotational leadership, it is important that the leader and co leader practice servant leadership. What makes a good servant leader?
• A leader is humble, patient, accepting and honest.
• A leader shows the same acceptance and respect for every group member, regardless of what they do outside the group.
• A leader speaks very little! He or she should encourage all members to share their ideas and have the chance to speak.
• Leaders make sure they listen to the group members, and encourage people when they have made a contribution.
• Even if you know the answers to questions it is better to let the group discuss the question themselves. If someone asks a question, offer it to the rest of the group to discuss. TIST: Servant Leadership
• Try to recognize the gifts that each person has, and to encourage them in the things they do well. (Kujengana) What you need to do to begin practicing Servant Leadership.
• Always be looking for ways to serve and encourage the people in your group.
• Look for the gifts that each person brings to the group. Point it out when you see it.
• Listen more than you talk. Let everyone contribute to the discussion.
• If you ask a question, wait for an answer from someone in the group.
• Be patient.
• Be respectful of everyone in your group, even those with whom you may not agree. Be open to people and statements without criticism or judgment. ENGLISH VERSION 4 Thayo A Youth Group: Working hard to ourselves and future generations. Prepared by: Joseph Thitai We, Thayo A Youth Group, TIST Number 2007KE172, are based in Laikipia East. We belong to Matanya Cluster, of Lamuria Field Office. Our Group has 6 members. Before joining TIST in 2006, our group was registered under the ministry of social services. It was a large group. TIST encouraged us to have a smaller group, and there the older Thayu multiplied into two to become Thayu A and Thayu B Small Groups. Thayu B was given TIST registration number 2006 KE 173. We have benefited a lot while in TIST. We hope to help other young people join TIST through Small Groups. Our vision is to plant long-term trees that will support us through income generation, and further, we will bequeath the trees to our children as our gift for inheritance.
We plan to establish a large tree nursery. In TIST, we have gained new skills and expertise in nursery management. Our government has been very supportive. We have received seeds and poly bags from the Government. We also plan to start dairy goat project.This will help increase our income. We want to encourage youth to work together in groups. Unity is strength. In TIST, we learn together, help one another and we grow together. Tree: A source of Life By David Mawira Beyond the Alps mountains, to the Ruwenzori mountains, Trees cover and stand in pure stand. Springs and rivers sprout down the hills. Aquatic animals enjoy the nature, Men go fishing, women fetch water for domestic use. Tree is a source of life. Beyond Kilimanjaro Mountain to the eastern part of Mt. Kenya, Beehives stand in beautiful farms, Gazelles, elephants and other wild animals roam leisurely, Fruits are in plenty for humans and animals, In the farms, honey is plenty. Ntua Beekeepers Small Groups A B & C in Kairuni Cluster harvest honey in abundance. Tree is a source of life. Under the Mugumo tree, it was a sacred place. Our forefather offered prayers and offerings to God. Under Mango tree, in Kirindini Cluster, Small Group members were paid. More than Ksh 200,000 went to the farmers for their tree incentives. Payments help improve living standards. Tree is a source of life. Behold, Small Group members’ groves form a good canopy,
Carbon is absorbed, stored in trunks, branches, Farmers are paid, still eager to be paid in carbon tonnes. Health is improved, birds sing in joy hence tree a source of life. Tree is a source of life ENGLISH VERSION 5 S ince the end of last year, Mbeere TIST Social Entrepreneurs (TSEs) have been working hard to train and build capacity to the Small Group members who have shown interest in joining the TIST program. We started in Mbeere South, Riakanao location where we have two clusters, namely Nthingini cluster and Kilia cluster. Although the area is very dry, the TIST program, through Mbeere TSEs, have been working very hard to engage farmers and the community in general to establish the tree nurseries and practice Conservation Farming. Groups have successfully managed to establish tree nurseries despite the drought challenges in the area. Many Small Groups have been baselined in Nthingini cluster. Next month, more baselines will be done in Kilia cluster. The Small Group members rely mostly on boreholes to get water for their basic use. During this time, when the drought is severe, it is challenging for them fetch water to use in their homes and at the same time fetch water to water their tree seedlings. However, many farmers have learnt during Cluster meetings new ways of recycling water. Using simple techniques, they now purify dirty, soapy domestic water using ash and later use it to water their tree nurseries.
As a result of this, many of the Small Group members have Mango seedlings in their nurseries. These seedlings are doing very well in the area. The other species that is doing well in the area is Acacia casamea, which is mostly known in the area as Kioko Wa Mwavi, named after the man who introduce that species to the area. Other activities that are common in the area include brick making. This is one of the major income earning activities.The bricks are usually sold to a local society. Mbeere TSEs continue to work together with local leaders, administration officers, the District Forest Officer, agriculture officers and Catholic Relief Services (CRS), to help support farmers in their efforts to develop their area. Progress of TIST Small Groups in Mbeere TSE Area. By Josphat Ndirangu. ENGLISH VERSION 6 Quantifiers - the TIST data collectors Work hard to see trees are counted, tracks collected, pictures taken, Baseline information taken, all data entered in the palm correctly and accurately.
They do this being guided by and following TIST Values. But have you ever thought what would happen if they violated these values? Trainers give correct information to Small Groups at cluster meetings, They teach about TIST Values, tree planting, nursery management, Conservation Farming, energy saving stoves, HIV &AIDS… the list is endless. They do this being guided by and following the TIST Values But have you ever thought what would happen if they violated these values? Auditors get the data collected by quantifiers from the website, They keenly and accurately check on the ground to see the information given is accurate. They do this being guided by and following the TIST Values, But have you ever thought what would happen if they violated these values? TIST Leadership Council sits down, discusses and shares ideas that will benefit the TIST family, They give updates to quantifiers and trainers.They organize seminars.The list is endless. They do this being guided by and following the TIST Values But have you ever thought what would happen if they violated these values?
TIST US team sits down, discusses and shares ideas that will benefit the TIST family, They help facilitate payments to the Small Groups. They give support to TIST Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and India. They start TIST in new countries like Honduras and Nicaragua, give TIST updates, do desk audits.The list is endless. They do this being guided by and following the TIST Values. But have you ever thought what would happen if they violated these values? Small Groups plant and keep records for their trees, manage nurseries, practice CF. They attend cluster meetings. They develop and share best practices.The list is endless. They do this being guided by and following the TIST Values. But have you ever thought what would happen if they violated these values? Yes, we are all in different fields but we share one thing in common
“ TIST VALUES “ So do you agree with me that if one field violates these values we are all hurt? We should therefore sing in unison that: TIST has taught us TIST Values - Honesty, Transparency, Accuracy, Mutual Accountability and Servant Leadership. If anyone does not follow these values, let him/her leave our family peacefully and not talk ill will about TIST. Why TIST Values are Important.
