Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 I n February 2012, TIST participants at a Seminar agreed that clusters that do well should be rewarded with a bonus.The seminar came up with activities that bring results and amount that should be paid as a bonus to the Cluster if the results are accomplished. This effort was meant to help Clusters develop to become self-governed in a sustainable way that reduces costs and increases results. Some of the Cluster members will receive over 50,000/= because they have over 100,000 trees in their Cluster. The extra .5/= per tree recognizes that a Cluster having over 100,000 trees is much more costeffective to quantify and to administer than Clusters with fewer trees. Lower costs and big results mean Proof of Progress: Clusters to receive Bonuses this month. that those Cluster participants can earn bigger prepayments on their carbon revenue. Many other Clusters have received bonuses because they have done a good job at reporting their Cluster Meetings and submitting their Accounting Report, and some for getting their Small Groups paid on a regular basis. The Cluster Leaders will receive a letter from the OLC explaining how their bonus was calculated, so that they can read that letter at the Cluster Meeting. We expect that each Cluster will discuss in their Cluster Meeting how they want to spend their bonus.

The following are Clusters that have qualified to earn bonuses.

I n TIST, we find strength in taking action together and sharing our successes with others in our Small Groups, in our Clusters, and beyond. Monthly Cluster Reports on Cluster meetings and accounting are an important part of this success. Each cluster is responsible for submitting an accurate Cluster meeting and Cluster accounting report every month, and should announce how the budget was spent each month during Cluster meetings. Transparency and mutual accountability are key values of TIST. Each TIST cluster must report how it spends its 900/= Cluster budget to achieve big results. Each Cluster Servant has access to a working Palm, they should use the Cluster Meeting and Accounting Forms on the Palms. Make sure you remind your Cluster Servant to send your Cluster records immediately after every meeting. If we do not receive reports from clusters, OLC may assume your cluster is inactive. In this case, you will not receive a budget, or the chance to learn and share at seminars.

Let’s work to share our reports What your Cluster should do every month to assure success. and our success every month! Reminder: for success, every month your cluster should: 1) Attend your cluster meeting and remind other groups to attend. 2) Review the results your cluster has achieved: new trees planted, groups quantified, and how budget was spent together as a cluster . 3) Send reports by Palm for Cluster Meeting and Cluster Accounting. 4) Organize quantification with Cluster Servants. Make sure someone from your cluster assists in each quantification! 5) Invite your friends and neighbors to join TIST at a cluster meeting. Share this Mazingira Bora and help them with the application process. 6) Make bigger results! Plant trees, build or buy an energy saving stove, practice CF . Together ,we can achieve anything! ENGLISH VERSION 3 T oday, TIST has more than 160 Clusters. In each cluster Servant Leaders support our success and share their strengths. Each Cluster has governance and leadership as follows: Elected Cluster Leadership

• Cluster Leader.

• Cluster Co- leader.

• Cluster Accountability person.

Cluster Leaders, Co-leaders, and Accountability people servein each position for a period of 4 months. After 4 months of service, the Cluster leader rotates out. The Co-leader becomes the Leader while the Accountability person becomes the Co-leader. Women and men alternate in the elections – if this Accountability Person is a man, the next one elected will be a woman. Your Cluster should democratically elect a new Accountability person. Cluster elections are important and mandatory for all TIST Clusters. Roles of Cluster Leadership. Roles of a Leader 1. Should be a servant to the whole cluster and exemplify TIST Values. 2. Leads/facilitates cluster activities: coordinates cluster meeting, quantification and training schedules with other servant leaders. 3. Motivates Groups to achieve big results, including planting trees and practicing CF . Helps the Cluster to remain strong and united 4. Helps plan for well-organized Cluster Meetings with other servant leaders and making sure the meetings are properly led and trained. 5. Works with Accountability Person to ensure that Cluster Meeting and Accounting records are kept properly. 5. Works with Accountability Person to ensure monthly Cluster reports and Accounts reports are sent and are accurate. 6. Helps recruit more Small Groups to be registered. 7. Helps Small Groups have their Green House Gas contracts signed, scanned and uploaded if necessary. 8. Welcomes and introduces any new visitor who might attend the meeting. 9. For payments: gets vouchers and other materials before cluster meeting. Works with Accountability Person to make sure the proper payment process is followed, and communicate any questions or problems to TIST leaders and Cluster Servants. 10. Reminds Small Group members of the next meeting. Roles of an Accountability Person

1. Receives Cluster Budget and announces amount received and spent at each Cluster meeting. 2. Works with the Cluster to plan how to use the Cluster Budget to achieve big results. 3. Keeps and maintains Cluster records in an organized cluster record book, accurately and in proper condition. 4. Allows inspection of Cluster Records to Cluster members and TIST leaders. 5. Sends both Monthly Cluster meeting and Accounting reports every month. 6. Trains the next accountability person 7. Helps and supports other servants to serve the Small Groups. 8. During payments: hands out vouchers to groups with 2 members present, reviews vouchers, communicates with payment support coordinators, and follows the payment process accurately and honestly. Roles of a Co-leader. 1. Takes over when the leader is not there. A coleader is to serve both the cluster members and the cluster leader . 2. Helps during Cluster Meetings in keeping time 3. Takes records during the cluster meeting. 4. Reads the previous minutes to the meeting 5. Keeps record of the minutes and discussion held in the cluster . 6. Helps train newly elected Accountability People. Cluster Representatives to the Group of Clusters Council. The Co-leader and Accountability person will also serve in GOCC. Each one will serve on the GOCC for a total of 8 months, and then when they become Cluster Leader their service on the GOCC will end. The GOCC is composed of representative from 2 -5 Clusters that are close neighbours. The Group of Council (GOC) will be meeting monthly preferably on the first week of the month and should submit reports of each meeting to OLC. Leadership and Governance in your Cluster. ENGLISH VERSION 4 Roles of Group of Clusters Council Representatives. 1) Discover and share Best Practices from Clusters; 2) Assure high quality training for the Clusters following TIST Values; 3) Assure high quality Quantification following TIST Values; 4) Maintain working equipment for training and Quantification; 5) Report concerns and make recommendations for policies to OLC; We need to manage our land carefully so our farms do not lose useful soil nutrients and minerals, and became less productive.

This can happen when a farmer grows one type of crop for several seasons (monoculture), or when soil erodes away. Growing the same crop on our farm year after year also can cause the number of pests for those crops to increase on our land since they have a home and food year after year (see the following article on Maize Necrosis). These pests can become so numerous that we cannot harvest a good crop. Avoid practicing monoculture to keep your soil fertile. The removal of essential soil nutrients decreases crop yields and can cause food shortages. What you can do to keep your farm fertile and productive Plant leguminous crops or trees that fix nitrogen. Plants in the bean and pea family have microbes in their roots that can take nitrogen from the atmosphere and change it into a form that plants can make use of. When we plant beans, cowpeas, soybeans, and trees like Sesbania, Sesban, Leucaena, and Acacia, we increase the nitrogen in our soils without adding chemical fertilizer. Practice crop rotation because different crops add and remove different soil nutrients, so the next crop can replace what is removed in one year the following year.

For example, we practice rotation in a field in this way: Season-1 Beans Season 2 Sorghum Season -3 Maize Season -4 Grazing animals (their waste adds valuable nutrients to our field) Season 5-Beans Preventing soil erosion: As many of the soil nutrients are found in topsoil, any action that stops soil erosion will help reduce nutrient loss. Practice Conservation Farming and plant trees in your field. When we follow these Best Practices our farms can have good yields for years to come. Keeping Our Farms Fertile and Productive. A fter every 3 months, each Cluster is audited. Audits make sure that the Cluster Servant is well-trained, doing an accurate Quantification job, doing a good job of providing training, measuring the knowledge of the Cluster members, and measuring the biodiversity impact the Cluster is having. This provides important information so that the GOCC can make sure that the Cluster Servants are doing a really good job and that the Clusters are making progress toward many more trees, more Conservation Farming, more stoves, and more biodiversity. Clusters that are successful in their audits will continue to receive more support including helping them become SACCOS and be self-governing. Each member has a part to play in order to ensure that your Cluster Audits are successful. Attending Cluster meetings to receive training helps you practice TIST Best Practice in more accurate manner , and achieve better results. When more Cluster members practice CF, adopt

TIST stoves, do more nurseries, plant many more trees, the stronger your Cluster becomes and attains higher points during Audits.This helps put your Clusters among the first prioritized Clusters to be considered to become a SACCO. Cluster Audits help measure our progress and performance. 6) Expand TIST through present Clusters; 7) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Cluster Servant is suspended to investigate facts and make recommendations on suspension; 8) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Cluster Leader is not following TIST Values; 9) Recommend people from the Group of Clusters for additional TIST responsibilities such as Auditor, TSE, or Master Trainer and other responsibilities. ENGLISH VERSION 5 M aize lethal necrosis (MLN) is a viral maize disease that has of late devastated farms in Kenya. It was first reported in Peru in 1973, and first reported in Kenya in May 2011 in Bomet County where the local people refer it as “Koroito,” meaning plague. T oday, the disease has spread to many other parts of the country. This disease affects all varieties of maize (Zea mays). When it strikes in a maize field, it can destroy up to 30%-100% of the crop. Some varieties have some resistance to the blight, and breeders are working on improved varieties, but MLN is a serious challenge. Signs of Maize lethal necrosis. Leaves turn yellowish with stripes all over the leaves.

This may start with the youngest leaves, and on larger leaves, spreads from leaf edge to center. At advanced stage, the cobs produce very few grains. Be Aware, Maize Lethal Necrosis. As adapted from KARI and CIMMYT How to prevent Maize lethal necrosis. a. Diversify the crops you grow. Maize lethal necrosis only affects maize. b. Do not plant maize near a field that already shows this infection. c. Plant maize at the onset of the main rainy season, rather than during the short rain season; this break between maize crops interrupts the disease cycle. d. Avoid bringing fodder of maize stalks or green manure from elsewhere to your farm. e. In case your maize stalks are affected, immediately remove diseased plants from the field. You may feed leaves to animals, but ears and grains can be dangerous and should be burnt. In your next Cluster meeting, discuss with other members about this disease, share experiences and agree on how to curb the menace. T housands of TIST farmers’ worldwide plant millions of trees each year. These trees contribute enormously in cleaning our environment. Trees clean the air by taking up the excessive carbon emission gases from the atmosphere to build their trunks, leaves, branches and roots.This is hugely important and helpful work. All of world’s people find the world a better place to live when new trees are planted and old ones conserved and protected. Just as we work in TIST to make the environment and air clean, so, too should we work to keep our homes and ourselves clean and hygienic. Let’s follow these Best Practices and encourage our families and others to do the same. TIST servants regularly share these Best Practices on health and hygiene and ask cluster members to share their best practices too. Washing hands. Washing our hands is simple, but it is one of the most important things we can do to stay healthy and prevent the spread of diseases. During the day our hands get dirty and pick up germs from soil, other people, raw meat and other places in the environment. Germs can enter our bodies and make us sick and spread from our hands to others. It is important to wash our hands thoroughly with water and soap to kill germs and stop us from getting sick. Hand washing is especially important before preparing food, after using the latrine and before eating. If we don’t wash our hands well, our families may get diseases like diarrhea more often. Many studies prove that the action of rubbing the hands is the most important factor in removing germs. If soap is not available, sand or ash also is effective.

Drying utensils after washing. Drying food and cooking utensils is important because leftover water can hold germs and give them a place to multiply. We can make simple wooden drying racks to let utensils dry in the sun, which can help kill germs. If this cannot be done, we can use a clean cloth to dry utensils. If using a cloth, we should wash and thoroughly dry the cloth regularly to prevent the cloth from becoming a home for germs, and causing germs to spread. Rodent and mosquito control. Rats and mosquitoes can carry diseases. To help control these pests, we can: - Clear our compounds of any unwanted bushes and grass. - Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Even a small amount of water on a piece of rubbish can provide a breeding place for mosquitoes that carry malaria, so clear away rubbish. - Clear away or cover securely any left over food. - Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit. - Sweep your house and compound daily. - Remember to use mosquito nets all the time. Let’s make our environment green and clean for a healthy habitation. Keeping Our Environment and Our Bodies Clean. ENGLISH VERSION 6 We are very proud that almost all TIST members are following the TIST Values and living by the contract that they signed. Very few TIST members have broken the contract, clear cut their trees, and sold them for other uses. In fact less than 1% of the 40,000 TIST groves in Kenya have been cut during the 8 years that TIST has been operating in Kenya. The purpose of having regular thinning is to achieve maximum growth and value of the trees that are left standing.The cuttings also provide firewood, poles, building materials, and other benefits directly to the TIST participant. That is the reason that we have the policy of creating a sustainable forest by only harvesting a maximum of 5% of the trees per year after the trees are 10 years old. When an occasional TIST member decides to clear cut their grove, they harm all the rest of the TIST members in their Small Group, in their Cluster and in all of Kenya. In fact, the actions of that very few people can cause big problems for everyone. We expect other small group members and members of the Cluster to pay attention and make sure that no one cuts trees before they are supposed to. The OLC is going to work with some of the participants who made a mistake and cut the trees to work out a proper plan for those people to reinvest some of their profits into the TIST Program so they are able to help other farmers rather than hurt them. When we signed the GhG Agreement, we committed to maintain trees we plant for TIST to let them grow for 30 years before harvest. This is one reason it’s so important to think carefully about what kinds of trees we want to grow on our farms. Thinning and pruning can help keep trees healthy and provide useful products while the trees grow. In general, the purpose of thinning and pruning trees is to improve individual tree health, as well as overall forest health. This is done by protecting the “best” trees in the forest and thinning the others. For many species, including hardwoods, grevillea, eucalyptus and cypress, the trees to thin around are the largest trees,

each with a single, straight stem. Trees may have different needs for space depending on species, site, planting style (woodlot, incorporated into crop fields, or windbreak), and climate, but some general principles apply. To grow strong, healthy trees, a spacing of two meters or more is recommended.This spacing works for many TIST trees (i.e. grevillea and cypress), but remember some trees require more space (mango and macadamia, for example). Giving trees proper spacing helps them get enough water and nutrients to grow to their full potential. Closer spacing is acceptable when Thinning your trees for successful growth, Avoid Clear - Cutting. DO THIS Single tree selection trees are young.As the trees begin to mature, some trees will be larger and more robust than their neighbors.These are the trees that should be kept. In determining which trees should be removed, look at the best trees and determine if they are appropriately spaced. If they are not, you should remove some nearby trees. When making thinning choices, remember that growth rate varies greatly by species. If a mango tree is growing near lots of eucalyptus, the mango may be far smaller and slower growing than the fast-growing eucalyptus, but it certainly should not be cut simply because it is smaller! In fact, a tree like mango is of great importance due to its usefulness in producing fruit for food and sale. Best Practices while Thinning

• Allow crop trees to grow to maturity.

• Thin to proper stocking (number of trees per acre).

In TIST, we can select up to 5% of our trees, after 10 years, thinning by selecting as they grow, and providing income.

• Remove dying, diseased, decaying, and poor-quality trees.

• Protect trees from logging damage.

• Use low-impact logging methods.

• Promote tree species diversity.

• Monitor your forest for insect and disease outbreaks.

• Cooperate with government agencies in controlling forest insect and disease outbreaks

. • Prevent wild fire.

Semina hiyo ilianzisha shughuli ambazo zitaleta matokeo na pesa ambazo zitalipwa kama nyongeza au pesa za ziada kwa cluster kama matokeo yatafikiwa. Juhudi hii ilikuwa ili kusaidia cluster kukua ili kuweza kujiongoza kwa njia endelevu inayopunguza utumizi wa pesa na kuongeza mazao. Baadhi ya wanacluster watapata zaidi ya elfu hamsini kwa sababu wana zaidi ya miti elfu mia moja katika cluster yao. Shilingi tano zilizojuu ya malipo ya kila mti inaonyesha kuwa cluster iliyo na zaidi ya miti elfu mia moja ni bora kigharama katika uhesabu miti na uongozi zaidi ya cluster zenye miti michache. Gharama ya chini zaidi na matokeo makubwa umaanisha kuwa wanacluster watapata malipo zaidi ya awali ya kaboni. Cluster zingine nyingi zimepata malipo ya ziada au nyongeza kwa sababu wamefanya kazi nzuri katika kuripoti kuhusu mikutano yao na kutuma ripoti za matumizi ya pesa za cluster, na zingine kwa sababu ya kupata kulipa vikundi vidogo wanapofaa kila baada ya muda Fulani. Viongozi wa cluster watapata barua kutoka kwa OLC ikieleza jinsi nyongeza yao ilivyohesabiwa, ili wasome barua hii katika mkutano wa cluster. Tunatarajia kuwa kila cluster itajadili jinsi ya kutumia nyongeza yao katika mkutano wa cluster. Cluster zifuatazo zimefuzu kupata malipo ya ziada.

Tafadhali jua kuwa, ushahidi huu wa maendeleo umehesabiwa kutoka Machi 2012 hadi Machi 2013. Ushahidi wa maendeleo mpya utakaohesabiwa siku za usoni utapangiwa na baraza la Uongozi wa TIST (OLC) na kuletwa kwenu na kwa cluster zenu. K atika TIST tunapata nguvu za kuchukua hatua pamoja na kugawana mafanikio yetu na wengine katika vikundi vyetu, katika cluster zetu na kwa wengi zaidi. Ripoti za kila mwezi za cluster kuhusu mikutano ya cluster na matumizi ya pesa ni sehemu muhimu katika mafanikio haya. Kila cluster ina jukumu la kutuma ripoti ya ukweli kuhusu mkutano na matumizi ya pesa kila mwezi, na yapaswa kutangaza jinsi pesa za kila mwezi zilivyotumika kila mwezi katika mikutano ya cluster. Uwazi na kuwajibikiana ni maadili yenye uzito mwingi katika TIST. Kila cluster ya TIST yafaa kuripoti jinsi walivyotumia shilingi mia tisa walizopewa kufikia matokeo makubwa. Kila mtumishi wa cluster ana uwezo wa kufikia Palm inayofanya kazi, wanapaswa kutumia fomu za mikutano ya cluster na za matumizi ya pesa zilizo katika Palm zao. Hakikisha umekumbusha mtumishi wa cluster

yako kutuma rekodi za cluster mara moja baada ya mkutano kila mwezi. Tusipopata ripoti kutoka cluster yenu, OLC waweza kufikiri kuwa cluster yenu haiendelei na kazi zake. Hapa, hamtapata pesa za kila mwezi za matumizi ya cluster, ama nafasi ya kusoma na kugawana katika semina. Acheni kufanye kazi ya kugawana ripoti na mafanikio yetu kila mwezi! Kumbuka: ili kufanikiwa kila mwezi, cluster yako yafaa: 1) Hudhuria mkutano wako wa cluster na ukumbushe vikundi vingine kuhudhuria. 2) Pitia matokeo ambayo cluster yako imefikia: miti iliyopandwa, vikundi viivyohesabiwa miti na jinsi pesa ilitumiwa na cluster kwa pamoja. 3) Tuma ripoti kupitia Palm kuhusu mkutano wa cluster na kuhusu matumizi ya pesa za cluster. 4) Pangia uhesabu miti pamoja na watumishi wa cluster. Hakikisha mmoja kutoka kwa cluster yenu anasaidia katika kila uhesabu miti! 5) Alikeni marafiki na majirani kuingia katika TIST mkutanoni mwa cluster. Wape Mazingira Bora hii na uwasaidie kupitia mchakato wote wa kuomba kuingia katika TIST. 6) Fikia matokeo makubwa zaidi! Panda miti, jenga au ununue jiko la kuokoa nishati, lima kilimo bora. Pamoja ,twaweza kufikia chochote! Ushahidi wa maendeleo: Cluster kupata nyongeza mwezi huu. Cluster yako inavyofaa kufanya ili kuhakikisha kufanikiwa. KISWAHILI VERSION 3 T IST ina zaidi ya cluster mia moja sitini. Katika kila cluster, viongozi watumishi husaidia katika mafanikio yetu na hugawana nguvu zao nasi.

GOCC ina wawakilishi kutoka cluster mbili kufika tano ambazo ni majirani wa karibu. Kikundi hiki kitakutana kila mwezi ikiwezekana wiki ya kwanza na chapaswa kutuma ripoti ya kila mkutano kwa OLC. Uongozi na Utawala katika cluster yako. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Majukumu ya wawakilishi katika GOCC 1) Kugundua na kugawana njia bora za kufanya mambo kutoka kwa cluster; 2) Uhakikikisha mafunzo ya hali yaa juu katika cluster yakifuatilia maadili ya TIST; 3) Uhakikisha uhesabu miti wa hali ya juu unaofuatilia maadili ya TIST; 4) Hutunza vyombo vya kazi vya ufunzaji na uhesabu miti; 5) Huripoti wasiwasi zilizopo na kutoa mapendekezo ya sera kwa OLC; 6) Hueneza TIST kupitia cluster zilizopo; 7) Huita mikutano ya utawala iwapo mtumishi amesimamishwa kazi ili kuangalia mambo yaliyokuwa na kutoa mapendekezo kuhusu kusimamishwa kwake; 8) Huita mikutano ya utawala iwapo kiongozi wa cluster hafuatilii maadili ya TIST; Hupendekeza watu katika GOCC watakaoongezwa majukumu zaidi kwa mfano mkaguzi,TSE, ama mkufunzi mkuu na kazi zingine. K ila baada ya miezi mitatu, kila cluster ukaguliwa. Ukaguzi huhakikisha kuwa mtumishi wa clus ter amefunzwa vizuri, anafanya kazi ya uhesabu miti iliyo sahihi, anafanya kazi nzuri ya kufunza, kupima ujuzi wa memba wa cluster, na kupima athari ya cluster kwa bionuwai. Jambo hili uwapa taarifa muhimu ili GOCC ihakikishe kuwa watumishi wa cluster wanafanya kazi iliyo nzuri na kuwa cluster zinaendelea kuelekea kupata miti mingi , kilimo hai, meko bora zaidi na bionuwai zaidi. Cluster zinazopita ukaguzi huu zitaendelea kupata usaidizi zaidi pamoja na kuwasaidia kuwa SACCO na kujitawala.

Kila memba ana sehemu yake ya kusaidia ili kuhakikisha kuwa ukaguzi wa cluster unafanikiwa. Kuhudhuria mikutano ya cluster ili kupata mafunzo ukusaidia kutumia njia bora zaidi za kufanya mambo kwa njia iliyo sahihi zaidi na kupata matokeo bora zaidi. Wakati memba wa cluster wengi zaidi hufanya kilimo hai, kutumia meko ya TIST, kuanzisha minanda zaidi, kupanda miti mingi zaidi, ndivyo cluster yako inaongeza nguvu na kupata alama nyingi zaidi katika ukaguzi. Haya husaidia kuweka cluster yenu juu kwa cluster zinazopewa kapaumbele kuwa SACCO. T unahitaji kusimamia ardhi yetu kwa uangalifu ili tusipoteze rutuba ya udongo na madini na kupunguza uzalishaji. Ili laweza kutendeka mkulima anapopanda aina moja ya mmea misimu mingi inayofuatana , ama udongo unapobebwa. Kukuza ainaa moja ya chakula katika mashamba yetu mwaka baada ya mwaka kwaweza kufanya wadudu wa aina kadhaa walio katika mimea hiyo kuongezeka katika ardhi yetu kwani wana makazi na chakula mwaka baada ya mwaka (angalia makala yafuatayo kuhusu ugonjwa unaoitwa Maize Necrosis). Wadudu hawa waweza kuwa wengi hadi tusiweze kuvuna mme mzuri. Jiepushe na ukulima huu wa mmea wa aina moja ili kuweka udongo wako ukiwa na rutuba. Kutolewa kwa virutubisho muhimu hupunguza mazao na waweza kusababisha uchache wa chakula. Waweza kufanya nini ili kuweka shamba lako likiwa lenye rutuba na uzalishaji Panda mimea au miti ya jamii ya kunde inayoweka virutubisho udongoni. Mimea katika familia ya maharagwe ina mizizi inayochukua naitrojeni kutoka kwa hewa na kuigeuza kuwa virutubisho ambavyo mimea inaweza kutumia. Tunapopanda maharagwe, kunde, soya na miti kama Sesbania, Sesban, Leucaena, na Acacia, tunaongeza naitrojeni kwa udongo bila kuongeza mboleo za kemikali. Jaribu kuzungusha mimea kwa sababu mimea tofauti huongeza na kutoa virutubisho vya udongo tofauti, kwa hivyo mmea utakaofuata kupandwa utarudisha virutubisho

vilivyotolewa mwaka uliofuata. Kwa mfano, tunazungusha mimea katika shamba kwa njia hii: Msimu1 Maharagwe Msimu 2 Mtama Msimu 3 Mahindi Msimu 4 Kulisha mifugo (taka yao huongeza virutubisho katika mashamba yetu) Msimu 5 Maharagwe Kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo: Kwa sababu virutubisho vingi vya udongo vipo katika udongo wa juu, jambo lolote linaloachisha mmomonyoko wa udongo husaidia kupunguza kupotea kwa virutubisho. Jaribu kilimo hai na upande miti katika shamba lako. Tunapozingatia njia hizi bora za kufanya mambo katika mashamba yetu tunaweza kupata mazao mazuri miaka mingi inayokuja. Ukaguzi wa cluster husaidia kupima maendeleo na utendaji. Kuweka mashamba yetu yakiwa yenye rutuba na yenye uzalishaji. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 M aize lethal necrosis (MLN) ni ugonjwa unaosababishwa na virusi wa mahindi ambao humekuwa ukiharibu mashamba Kenya. Uliripotiwa kwanza katika nchi ya Peru mwaka 1973, na kuripotiwa mara ya kwanza katika Kenya mwezi wa tano mwaka 2011 katika jimbo la Bomet ambapo watu huuita “Koroito” kumaanisha tauni. Leo, ugonjwa huu umetambaa katika maeneo mengine ya nchi. Ugonjwa huu unaathiri aina mbalimbali za mahindi (Zea mays). Unapoingia katika shamba la mahindi, unaweza kuharibu asilimia thelathini hadi mia moja ya mimea.

Aina zingine zina usugu kidogo katika kukauka na wanaotengeza wanajaribu kutengeza aina bora, lakini MLN ni changamoto kubwa. Ishara za ugonjwa huu wa Maize lethal necrosis a. Majani yanageuka na kuwa rangi ya manjano iliyo na mistari majanini. Inaweza kuanza katika majani yaliyo machanga zaidi na majani makubwa, ikitambaa kutoka ukingoni hadi kati kati ya jani. b. Ugonjwa ukikaa sana, nafaka chache za mahindi hupatikana. Jinsi ya kuzuia Maize lethal necrosis a. Panda aina nyingi za mimea. MLN huathiri mahindi pekee. b. Usipande mahindi karibu na shamba lilaloonyesha ugonjwa huu. c. Panda mahindi msimu mkuu wa mvua, badala ya wakati wa msimu mdogo wa mvua; pumziko ili kati ya mimea ya mahindi huhinikiza mzunguko wa ugonjwa huu. d. Epuka kuleta mahindi na mbplea isiyokauka kutoka kwinginepo hadi shambani mwako. e. Iwapo mahindi yako yamefikiwa na ugonjwa huu, toa mimea iliyogonjeka kutoka shambani. Unaweza kuipa mifugo majani, lakini masikio na nafaka zaweza kuwa hatari na zafaa kuchomwa. Katika mkutano huo mwingine wa cluster yako, jadiliana na wancluster wengine kuhusu ugonjwa huu, gawana mliyoona na mkubaliane kuhusu njia ya kukabana na hatari hii. M aelfu ya wakulima duniani kote hupanda mamilioni ya miti kila mwaka. Miti hii huchangia sana kusafisha mazingira yetu. Miti husafisha hewa kwa kuchukua gesi za kaboni zinazotolewa kwa hewa kujenga vigogo, majani, matawi na mizizi. Hii ni kazi iliyo na umuhimu na inayosaidia sana. Watu wa dunia nzima huishi dunia iliyo bora zaidi miti mipya inapopandwa na miti mizee kuhifadhiwa na kulindwa. Kama tunavyofanya kazi katika TIST kusafisha mazingira na hewa, ndivyo pia, tunafaa kufanya kazi kuweka nyumba zetu na miili yetu ikiwa safi. Tufuatilieni mienendobora ya kufanya mambo na kutia moyo familia zetu na wengineo kufanya vivyo hivyo. Watumishi wa TIST hugawana kila baada ya muda kuhusu njia bora za kiafya na kiusafi na kuuliza memba wa cluster kugawana njia bora pia. Kuosha mikono Kuosha mikono ni rahisi, lakini ni jambo moja muhimu zaidi ya kuishi na afya na kuzuia kuenena kwa magonjwa.

Wakati wa mchana mikono yetu hupata uchafu na kuchukua vijidudu kutoka udongoni, kwa watu wengine, nyama isiyopikwa na kutoka kwa mahali kwingineko katika mazingira. Vijidudu vinavyoeneza magonjwa vyaweza kuingia katika miili yetu na kutufanya wagonjwa na kuenea kutoka kwa mikono yetu hadi kwa wengine. Ni muhimu kuosha mikono yetu vizuri kwa maji na sabuni ili kuua vijidudu hivi na kutuzuia kuwa wagonjwa. Kuosha mikono ni muhimu zaidi kabla ya kutayarisha vyakula, baada ya kutumia choo na kabla ya kukula. Tusipoosha mikono yetu vizuri, familia zetu zaweza kupata magonjwa kama kuhara mara nyingi. Tafiti nyingi hushuhudia kuwa tendo la kuisugua mikono ni muhimu zaidi katikakutoa vijidudu. Kama sabuni haipo, mchanga au majivu yaweza kutumika. Kukausha vyombo baada ya kuosha Kukausha vyombo vya kulia na kupikia ni muhimu kwani maji yaliyobaki yaweza kuweka vijidudu na kuvipa mahali pa kuzalia. Twaweza kufanya kifaa cha mbao cha kuweka vyombo ili kuviruhusu kukauka nje kuliko na jua, jambo ambalo litawaua vijidudu hawa. Kama hauwezi fanya hivi, waweza kutumia kitambaa safi kukausha vyombo Kama unatumia kitambaa, twafaa kukiosha na kukikausha vizuri kila baada ya muda ili kukizuia kuwa makazi ya vijidudu na kusababisha vijidudu kuenea. Udhibiti wa panya na mbu Panya na mbu waweza kubeba magonjwa. Kusaidia kudhibiti hawa, twaweza: - Kuwasisha viwanja vyetu kwa kuvitoa vichaka na nyasi isiyohitajika

- Kutoa maji yote yaliyosimama karibu na uwanja wako. Hata kiasi kidogo cha maji katika taka kidogo chaweza kuwa makazi ya kuzalia ya mbu ambao hubeba malaria kwa hivyo toa taka yote. - Toa au ufunike vyakula vyote vilivyobaki - Weka taka nje ya nyumba katika mkebe uliofunikwa au shimo la taka. - Fagia nyumba na uwanja wako kila siku. - Kumbuka kutumia neti ya mbu kila siku Acheni tuweke mazingira yetu yakiwa ya kijani na safi ili kupata makazi yenye afya. Chunga, Ugonjwa mbaya wa mahindi (Maize Lethal Necrosis). Ujumbe ulioombwa kutoka kwa KARI na CIMMYT Kutunza mazingira yetu na miili yetu. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Kukata miti yote FANYA hivi Chagua mti mmoja mmoja. T unajivunia sana kuwa wanaTIST wote wanafuatilia maadili ya TIST na kuishi wakizingatia kandarasi waliyotia saini. Ni wanaTIST wachache waliovunja mkataba huo, wakakata miti yote na kuiuza kutumika vinginevyo. Kwa kweli ni chini ya asilimia moja ya mashamba elfu arobaini katika Kenya imekatwa katika miaka nane ambayo TIST imekuwa Kenya. Madhumuni ya kupunguza miti ni ili miti iliyobaki ikue na dhamani yake ipande inavyofaa. Miti hii iliyokatwa pia hutupa kuni, fito, vifaa vya ujenzi na faida nyinginezo kwa mshiriki wa TIST. Hii ndio sababu tuna sera ya kuanzisha msitu endelevu kwa kuvuna miti isiyopitisha asilimia tano baada ya miti kufikisha miaka kumi. Wakati mwanaTIST mmoja napoamua kukata shamba lote, wanadhuru wanaTIST wote katika kikundi chao, katika cluster yao na katika Kenya yote. Kwa kweli, matendo ya wachache hao yaweza kuletea shida kila mmoja. Tunatarajia wanakikundi wengine na wanacluster kuwa makini na kuhakikisha kuwa hakuna anayekata miti kabla ya wanapopaswa. Kikundi cha OLC kitafanya kazi na baadhi ya washiriki waliofanya kosa na kukata miti kufanya mpango wa hao watu kurudisha sehemu ya faida yao katika mradi wa TIST ili waweze kusaidi wakulima wengine badala ya kuwaumiza. Tulipotia saini mkataba wa makubaliano wa GhG, tuliahidi kutunza miti

tunayopanda katika TIST na kuiacha kukua kwa muda wa miaka thelathini kabla ya kuvuna. Hii ni sababu moja ya kwa nini ni muhimu kufikiria kwa makini kuhusu ni miti ya aina gani tunayotaka kukuza katika mashamba yetu. Kupunguza miti na kupogoa kwaweza kusaidi kuweka miti ikiwa yenye afya na kutupa vitu vinavyotumika miti bado ikikua. Kwa ujumla, maana ya kupunguza na kuipogoa miti ni kuboresha afya ya kila mti, pamoja na ya msitu wote. Hili litafanyika kupitia kuichagua miti iliyo bora zaidi katika msitu. Kwa aina nyingi za miti, pamoja na miti ya mbao, grevilea, mikaratusi na cypress, miti hii san asana huwa miti mikubwa zaidi, kila mti ukiwa na shina moja lililonyooka. Miti yaweza kuwa na mahitaji mbalimbali ya nafasi kulingana na aina, mahali, ilivyopandwa (miti iliyo mashambani ya mimea ya vyakula ama miti iliyopandwa ili kupunguiza upepo) na tabia nchi, lakini kuna kanuni zingine za kijumla hutumika. Kukuza miti iliyo na nguvu na afya, nafasi ya mita mbili hupendekezwa. Nafasi hii ni sawa kwa miti mingi ya TIST (grevillea na cypress), lakini kumbuka kuwa miti mingine huitaji nafasi zaidi (miembe na mikandamia, kwa mfano). Kuipa miti nafasi inayofaa huisaidia kupata maji na virutubisho tosha vya kuikuza hadi panapowezekana. Nafasi ndogo zaidi inaruhusiwa miti ilipo michanga. Miti inapokua, miti mingine itakuwa mikubwa kuliko majirani. Hii ndiyo miti wapaswa kuacha. Kuchhagua ni miti gani ya kukata, angalia miti iliyo bora zaidi na ujue kama ina nafasi ifaayo. Kama haina, wafaa kutoa miti mingine iliyo karibu. Unapofanya uhamuzi wa kupunguza miti, kumbuka kuwa kiwango cha ukuaji hutofautiana kulingana na aina ya mti. Kama mwembe unakua karibu na mikaratusi mingi, mwembe unaweza kuwa mdogo na unaokua pole pole zaidi ya mikaratusi inayokua haraka, lakini kwa uhakika haupaswi kukatwa kwa sababu ni mdogo zaidi! Kwa kweli, mti kama mwembe ni wenye umuhimu mkubwa kwa sabubu ya matumizi yake katika kupeana matunda ya kula nay a kuuza. Mazoezi bora unapopunguza miti

• Iruhusu miti kukua hadi ukomavu.

• Punguza hadi inavyofaa (nambari ya miti katika ekari). Katika TIST, twaweza kuchagua hadi asilimia tano ya miti yetu, baada ya miaka kumi, kupunguza kupitia kuchagua inavyokua na kutuletea pesa.

• Kata miti inayokufa, iliyo na magonjwa, inayooza na isiyo na ubora.

• Linda miti kutokana na uharibifu kutakana na ukataji wa magogo.

• Tumia njia za ukataji magogo zenye athari chache inapowezekana.

• Himiza wingi wa aina za miti.

• Fuatilia msitu wako ili kujua kukizuka wadudu na magonjwa

. • Shirikiana na kampuni za serikali katika kudhibiti kuzuka kwa wadudu na magonjwa

. • Zuia mioto ya msitu. USIFANYE hivi Kupunguza miti yako ili ikue vizuri, jiepushe na kukata miti yote. Published by TIST-Kenya.

KIKAMBA VERSION 6 DO THIS Single tree selection I thyi nthini wa tist vakuvi ithyoothe nituatiiaa mawalany’o na nzia nzeo sya tist tuatiie na kwikala kuatiiana na wiw’ano ula tweekie saii. Ni andu anini ala matulile wiw’ano uu na meenga miti yoo yonthe na mamita kutumiwa nziani ingi.. kwa w’o ni anini kwi kilio kya 1% kati wa miti ila ivanditwee nguumoni syi mbee wa 40,000 sya tist nthini wa Kenya ila syengetwe myakani 8 ila tist yithiitwe iithukuma vaa Kenya. Kitumi kya kutaanisya miti kila ivinda ni kuvikia kwa miti kwiana vyu vate kuvingiisana na ingi na vaita wa muti ula watiwa kwongeleka. Kutaanisya kuu nikunenganae ngu, miti ya kwaka, na moseo angi ala maumaas mutini muteme kwa ene tist. Kii nikyo twithiawa na walany’o museo wa kwikalya mititu kwa kuketha iyingiva 5% ya miti ila twinayo kwa mwaka ethiwa yina myaka ikumi kwambata no ti itheo wa myaka isu. Yila memba wa tist waamua kwenga miti yake , ni uumiasya kakundi kake kala ke nthini wa ngwatanio ya tist nthini wa Kenya. Kwa w’o wiko uu wa andu asu anini nuetae nthina munene kwa kila umwe. Twiikwata tukundi tunini na a member oothe kumanya na kuikiithya vaiumwe unatemanga miti yake itavikiite ivinda ya utemwa. OLC nikuthukuma vamwe na amwe ala meekie makosa ma kutema miti yoo yoonthe na kusisya walany’o ula matonya utumia kuikiithya andu asu nimavanda ingi ukwati woo nthini wa walany’o wa Tist nikana methiwe matonya kutethya aimi vandu va kumaumisy. Yila twee kia saii wiw’ano wa GhG Agreement, twithwaa tweeyumya kwikalya miti yitu ila tuvandite ta ya Tist vandu va myaka 30 mbee wa kumiketha. Kii nikimwe kati wa itumi ila twaile usisya mbee wa kuvanda miti ni miti yiva tukwenda nthini wa miunda yiotu na ikwithiwa itonya kwikala kwa ivinda yiu iteutemwa. Kusea na kutaanisya miti ni useo nundu niku nengae miti kwiana nesa na kuitunenge vaita wa utumia usyao wa miti o iendee na kwiana. Kwa vamwe vata wa kusea na kutaanisya miti ni kwailya uima wa muti na mutitu w’onthe. Uu wikawa kwa kusuvia miti ila miseo mutituni kwa kuveta ila itena uima museo na ila itonya kutuma uyu museo uteana nesa. Kwa mithemba mingi ya miti ta mikuvulya, minyoonyoo, misanduku miti ya kuveta ni ila minene ila yina muthamba umwe mulungalu. Miti niyithiawa na mawendi kivathukany’o ya mwanya kwianana na muvai wa muti na niva ivanditwe na ivandiwe ki (ta miti ivandaniw’e na liu kana ya kusiia nzeve), uvinduku wa nzeve onakau mawendi amwe methiawa kwa kila muvai. Kumea yina vinya, na yaile miti kaingi niyendaa utaaniu wa matambya eli kana maingi.

Mwanya uyu wa matambya eli kaingi uthukumaa kwa miti ta mikuvulya na misanduku. lilikana ka miti ingi niyendaa mwanya munenange ta miembe na mikandania. kunenga miti mwanya ula waile ninengae miti ivuso ya kukwata kiw’u nesa na unou kuma muthangani na kwiana undu vaile. Kuvanda miti uthungianie vanini nikwitikilikaa kwa miti yi mini indi oundu miti iendee na kwiana imwe niyonekaa yi minene kwi ingi. Miti ino minene kwi isu ingii niyo yaile kuekwa na ila minini iteanite nesa kuvetwa, Sisya miti ila minene na miseo yila uusakua miti ya kutia uendee na utaanisya miti. Ethiwa yothe no miseo sisya uole imwe nikana ivikie utaaniu ula waile na yithiwe itonya kwiana nesa. Yila uusakua miti ya kuveta lilkana, kwina kwa miti kuendanasy na muvai wa muti nundu mithemba imwe niyianaa kwi ingi. Ethiwa ni kiembe kimeete vakuvi na musanduku, kiembe nikyonekaa ta kite kwiana nundu musanduku wianaa mituki, kii ti kitumi kya kuveta kiembe nundu ni kinini anyee. Sisya useo na vaita wa muembe ni mwingi kwi wa musandu nundu muembe no utumike ta liu na no ukunenge mbesa wata matunda maw’o. Mawiko maseo yila uutanisya miti

Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 I n February 2012, TIST participants at a Seminar agreed that clusters that do well should be rewarded with a bonus.The seminar came up with activities that bring results and amount that should be paid as a bonus to the Cluster if the results are accomplished. This effort was meant to help Clusters develop to become self-governed in a sustainable way that reduces costs and increases results. Some of the Cluster members will receive over 50,000/= because they have over 100,000 trees in their Cluster. The extra .5/= per tree recognizes that a Cluster having over 100,000 trees is much more costeffective to quantify and to administer than Clusters with fewer trees. Lower costs and big results mean Proof of Progress: Clusters to receive Bonuses this month. that those Cluster participants can earn bigger prepayments on their carbon revenue. Many other Clusters have received bonuses because they have done a good job at reporting their Cluster Meetings and submitting their Accounting Report, and some for getting their Small Groups paid on a regular basis. The Cluster Leaders will receive a letter from the OLC explaining how their bonus was calculated, so that they can read that letter at the Cluster Meeting. We expect that each Cluster will discuss in their Cluster Meeting how they want to spend their bonus. The following are Clusters that have qualified to earn bonuses.

I n TIST, we find strength in taking action together and sharing our successes with others in our Small Groups, in our Clusters, and beyond. Monthly Cluster Reports on Cluster meetings and accounting are an important part of this success. Each cluster is responsible for submitting an accurate Cluster meeting and Cluster accounting report every month, and should announce how the budget was spent each month during Cluster meetings. Transparency and mutual accountability are key values of TIST. Each TIST cluster must report how it spends its 900/= Cluster budget to achieve big results. Each Cluster Servant has access to a working Palm, they should use the Cluster Meeting and Accounting Forms on the Palms. Make sure you remind your Cluster Servant to send your Cluster records immediately after every meeting. If we do not receive reports from clusters, OLC may assume your cluster is inactive. In this case, you will not receive a budget, or the chance to learn and share at seminars. Let’s work to share our reports What your Cluster should do every month to assure success. and our success every month! Reminder: for success, every month your cluster should:

1) Attend your cluster meeting and remind other groups to attend. 2) Review the results your cluster has achieved: new trees planted, groups quantified, and how budget was spent together as a cluster . 3) Send reports by Palm for Cluster Meeting and Cluster Accounting. 4) Organize quantification with Cluster Servants. Make sure someone from your cluster assists in each quantification! 5) Invite your friends and neighbors to join TIST at a cluster meeting. Share this Mazingira Bora and help them with the application process. 6) Make bigger results! Plant trees, build or buy an energy saving stove, practice CF . Together ,we can achieve anything! ENGLISH VERSION 3 T oday, TIST has more than 160 Clusters. In each cluster Servant Leaders support our success and share their strengths. Each Cluster has governance and leadership as follows: Elected Cluster Leadership

Each one will serve on the GOCC for a total of 8 months, and then when they become Cluster Leader their service on the GOCC will end. The GOCC is composed of representative from 2 -5 Clusters that are close neighbours. The Group of Council (GOC) will be meeting monthly preferably on the first week of the month and should submit reports of each meeting to OLC. Leadership and Governance in your Cluster. ENGLISH VERSION 4 Roles of Group of Clusters Council Representatives.

1) Discover and share Best Practices from Clusters; 2) Assure high quality training for the Clusters following TIST Values; 3) Assure high quality Quantification following TIST Values; 4) Maintain working equipment for training and Quantification; 5) Report concerns and make recommendations for policies to OLC; We need to manage our land carefully so our farms do not lose useful soil nutrients and minerals, and became less productive. This can happen when a farmer grows one type of crop for several seasons (monoculture), or when soil erodes away. Growing the same crop on our farm year after year also can cause the number of pests for those crops to increase on our land since they have a home and food year after year (see the following article on Maize Necrosis). These pests can become so numerous that we cannot harvest a good crop. Avoid practicing monoculture to keep your soil fertile. The removal of essential soil nutrients decreases crop yields and can cause food shortages. What you can do to keep your farm fertile and productive Plant leguminous crops or trees that fix nitrogen. Plants in the bean and pea family have microbes in their roots that can take nitrogen from the atmosphere and change it into a form that plants can make use of. When we plant beans, cowpeas, soybeans, and trees like Sesbania, Sesban, Leucaena, and Acacia, we increase the nitrogen in our soils without adding chemical fertilizer. Practice crop rotation because different crops add and remove different soil nutrients, so the next crop can replace what is removed in one year the following year. For example, we practice rotation in a field in this way: Season-1 Beans Season 2 Sorghum Season -3 Maize Season -4 Grazing animals (their waste adds valuable nutrients to our field) Season 5-Beans Preventing soil erosion: As many of the soil nutrients are found in topsoil, any action that stops soil erosion will help reduce nutrient loss. Practice Conservation Farming and plant trees in your field. When we follow these Best Practices our farms can have good yields for years to come. Keeping Our Farms Fertile and Productive. A fter every 3 months, each Cluster is audited. Audits make sure that the Cluster Servant is well-trained, doing an accurate Quantification job, doing a good job of providing training, measuring the knowledge of the Cluster members, and measuring the biodiversity impact the Cluster is having. This provides important information so that the GOCC can make sure that the Cluster Servants are doing a really good job and that the Clusters are making progress toward many more trees, more Conservation Farming, more stoves, and more biodiversity. Clusters that are successful in their audits will continue to receive more support including helping them become SACCOS and be self-governing. Each member has a part to play in order to ensure that your Cluster Audits are successful. Attending Cluster meetings to receive training helps you practice TIST Best Practice in more accurate manner , and achieve better results. When more Cluster members practice CF, adopt TIST stoves, do more nurseries, plant many more trees, the stronger your Cluster becomes and attains higher points during Audits.This helps put your Clusters among the first prioritized Clusters to be considered to become a SACCO. Cluster Audits help measure our progress and performance. 6) Expand TIST through present Clusters; 7) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Cluster Servant is suspended to investigate facts and make recommendations on suspension; 8) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Cluster Leader is not following TIST Values; 9) Recommend people from the Group of Clusters for additional TIST responsibilities such as Auditor, TSE, or Master Trainer and other responsibilities. ENGLISH VERSION 5 M aize lethal necrosis (MLN) is a viral maize disease that has of late devastated farms in Kenya. It was first reported in Peru in 1973, and first reported in Kenya in May 2011 in Bomet County where the local people refer it as “Koroito,” meaning plague. T oday, the disease has spread to many other parts of the country. This disease affects all varieties of maize (Zea mays). When it strikes in a maize field, it can destroy up to 30%-100% of the crop. Some varieties have some resistance to the blight, and breeders are working on improved varieties, but MLN is a serious challenge. Signs of Maize lethal necrosis. Leaves turn yellowish with stripes all over the leaves. This may start with the youngest leaves, and on larger leaves, spreads from leaf edge to center. At advanced stage, the cobs produce very few grains. Be Aware, Maize Lethal Necrosis. As adapted from KARI and CIMMYT How to prevent Maize lethal necrosis. a. Diversify the crops you grow. Maize lethal necrosis only affects maize. b. Do not plant maize near a field that already shows this infection. c. Plant maize at the onset of the main rainy season, rather than during the short rain season; this break between maize crops interrupts the disease cycle. d. Avoid bringing fodder of maize stalks or green manure from elsewhere to your farm. e. In case your maize stalks are affected, immediately remove diseased plants from the field.

You may feed leaves to animals, but ears and grains can be dangerous and should be burnt. In your next Cluster meeting, discuss with other members about this disease, share experiences and agree on how to curb the menace. T housands of TIST farmers’ worldwide plant millions of trees each year. These trees contribute enormously in cleaning our environment. Trees clean the air by taking up the excessive carbon emission gases from the atmosphere to build their trunks, leaves, branches and roots.This is hugely important and helpful work. All of world’s people find the world a better place to live when new trees are planted and old ones conserved and protected. Just as we work in TIST to make the environment and air clean, so, too should we work to keep our homes and ourselves clean and hygienic. Let’s follow these Best Practices and encourage our families and others to do the same. TIST servants regularly share these Best Practices on health and hygiene and ask cluster members to share their best practices too. Washing hands. Washing our hands is simple, but it is one of the most important things we can do to stay healthy and prevent the spread of diseases. During the day our hands get dirty and pick up germs from soil, other people, raw meat and other places in the environment. Germs can enter our bodies and make us sick and spread from our hands to others. It is important to wash our hands thoroughly with water and soap to kill germs and stop us from getting sick. Hand washing is especially important before preparing food, after using the latrine and before eating. If we don’t wash our hands well, our families may get diseases like diarrhea more often. Many studies prove that the action of rubbing the hands is the most important factor in removing germs. If soap is not available, sand or ash also is effective. Drying utensils after washing. Drying food and cooking utensils is important because leftover water can hold germs and give them a place to multiply. We can make simple wooden drying racks to let utensils dry in the sun, which can help kill germs. If this cannot be done, we can use a clean cloth to dry utensils. If using a cloth, we should wash and thoroughly dry the cloth regularly to prevent the cloth from becoming a home for germs, and causing germs to spread. Rodent and mosquito control. Rats and mosquitoes can carry diseases. To help control these pests, we can: - Clear our compounds of any unwanted bushes and grass. - Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Even a small amount of water on a piece of rubbish can provide a breeding place for mosquitoes that carry malaria, so clear away rubbish. - Clear away or cover securely any left over food.

- Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit. - Sweep your house and compound daily. - Remember to use mosquito nets all the time. Let’s make our environment green and clean for a healthy habitation. Keeping Our Environment and Our Bodies Clean. ENGLISH VERSION 6 We are very proud that almost all TIST members are following the TIST Values and living by the contract that they signed. Very few TIST members have broken the contract, clear cut their trees, and sold them for other uses. In fact less than 1% of the 40,000 TIST groves in Kenya have been cut during the 8 years that TIST has been operating in Kenya. The purpose of having regular thinning is to achieve maximum growth and value of the trees that are left standing.The cuttings also provide firewood, poles, building materials, and other benefits directly to the TIST participant. That is the reason that we have the policy of creating a sustainable forest by only harvesting a maximum of 5% of the trees per year after the trees are 10 years old. When an occasional TIST member decides to clear cut their grove, they harm all the rest of the TIST members in their Small Group, in their Cluster and in all of Kenya. In fact, the actions of that very few people can cause big problems for everyone. We expect other small group members and members of the Cluster to pay attention and make sure that no one cuts trees before they are supposed to. The OLC is going to work with some of the participants who made a mistake and cut the trees to work out a proper plan for those people to reinvest some of their profits into the TIST Program so they are able to help other farmers rather than hurt them. When we signed the GhG Agreement, we committed to maintain trees we plant for TIST to let them grow for 30 years before harvest. This is one reason it’s so important to think carefully about what kinds of trees we want to grow on our farms. Thinning and pruning can help keep trees healthy and provide useful products while the trees grow. In general, the purpose of thinning and pruning trees is to improve individual tree health, as well as overall forest health. This is done by protecting the “best” trees in the forest and thinning the others. For many species, including hardwoods, grevillea, eucalyptus and cypress, the trees to thin around are the largest trees, each with a single, straight stem. Trees may have different needs for space depending on species, site, planting style (woodlot, incorporated into crop fields, or windbreak), and climate, but some general principles apply.

To grow strong, healthy trees, a spacing of two meters or more is recommended.This spacing works for many TIST trees (i.e. grevillea and cypress), but remember some trees require more space (mango and macadamia, for example). Giving trees proper spacing helps them get enough water and nutrients to grow to their full potential. Closer spacing is acceptable when Thinning your trees for successful growth, Avoid Clear - Cutting. DO THIS Single tree selection trees are young.As the trees begin to mature, some trees will be larger and more robust than their neighbors.These are the trees that should be kept. In determining which trees should be removed, look at the best trees and determine if they are appropriately spaced. If they are not, you should remove some nearby trees. When making thinning choices, remember that growth rate varies greatly by species. If a mango tree is growing near lots of eucalyptus, the mango may be far smaller and slower growing than the fast-growing eucalyptus, but it certainly should not be cut simply because it is smaller! In fact, a tree like mango is of great importance due to its usefulness in producing fruit for food and sale. Best Practices while Thinning

• Allow crop trees to grow to maturity.

• Thin to proper stocking (number of trees per acre). In TIST, we can select up to 5% of our trees, after 10 years, thinning by selecting as they grow, and providing income

. • Remove dying, diseased, decaying, and poor quality trees.

• Protect trees from logging damage.

• Use low-impact logging methods.

• Promote tree species diversity.

• Monitor your forest for insect and disease outbreaks.

• Cooperate with government agencies in controlling forest insect and disease outbreaks.

• Prevent wild fire. DO NOT do this Published by TIST-Kenya

TIST katika semina waliitikiana kuwa cluster zitakazo na nyongeza. Semina hiyo ilianzisha shughuli ambazo zitaleta matokeo na pesa ambazo zitalipwa kama nyongeza au pesa za ziada kwa cluster kama matokeo yatafikiwa. Juhudi hii ilikuwa ili kusaidia cluster kukua ili kuweza kujiongoza kwa njia endelevu inayopunguza utumizi wa pesa na kuongeza mazao. Baadhi ya wanacluster watapata zaidi ya elfu hamsini kwa sababu wana zaidi ya miti elfu mia moja katika cluster yao. Shilingi tano zilizojuu ya malipo ya kila mti inaonyesha kuwa cluster iliyo na zaidi ya miti elfu mia moja ni bora kigharama katika uhesabu miti na uongozi zaidi ya cluster zenye miti michache. Gharama ya chini zaidi na matokeo makubwa umaanisha kuwa wanacluster watapata malipo zaidi ya awali ya kaboni. Cluster zingine nyingi zimepata malipo ya ziada au nyongeza kwa sababu wamefanya kazi nzuri katika kuripoti kuhusu mikutano yao na kutuma ripoti za matumizi ya pesa za cluster, na zingine kwa sababu ya kupata kulipa vikundi vidogo wanapofaa kila baada ya muda Fulani. Viongozi wa cluster watapata barua kutoka kwa OLC ikieleza jinsi nyongeza yao ilivyohesabiwa, ili wasome barua hii katika mkutano wa cluster. Tunatarajia kuwa kila cluster itajadili jinsi ya kutumia nyongeza yao katika mkutano wa cluster. Cluster zifuatazo zimefuzu kupata malipo ya ziada. Tafadhali jua kuwa, ushahidi huu wa maendeleo umehesabiwa kutoka Machi 2012 hadi Machi 2013. Ushahidi wa maendeleo mpya utakaohesabiwa siku za usoni utapangiwa na baraza la Uongozi wa TIST (OLC) na kuletwa kwenu na kwa cluster zenu. K atika TIST tunapata nguvu za kuchukua hatua pamoja na kugawana mafanikio yetu na wengine katika vikundi vyetu, katika cluster zetu na kwa wengi zaidi. Ripoti za kila mwezi za cluster kuhusu mikutano ya cluster na matumizi ya pesa ni sehemu muhimu katika mafanikio haya. Kila cluster ina jukumu la kutuma ripoti ya ukweli kuhusu mkutano na matumizi ya pesa kila mwezi, na yapaswa kutangaza jinsi pesa za kila mwezi zilivyotumika kila mwezi katika mikutano ya cluster. Uwazi na kuwajibikiana ni maadili yenye uzito mwingi katika TIST. Kila cluster ya TIST yafaa kuripoti jinsi walivyotumia shilingi mia tisa walizopewa kufikia matokeo makubwa. Kila mtumishi wa cluster ana uwezo wa kufikia Palm inayofanya kazi, wanapaswa kutumia fomu za mikutano ya cluster na za matumizi ya pesa zilizo katika Palm zao. Hakikisha umekumbusha mtumishi wa cluster yako kutuma rekodi za cluster mara moja baada ya mkutano kila mwezi. Tusipopata ripoti kutoka cluster yenu, OLC waweza kufikiri kuwa cluster yenu haiendelei na kazi zake. Hapa, hamtapata pesa za kila mwezi za matumizi ya cluster, ama nafasi ya kusoma na kugawana katika semina. Acheni kufanye kazi ya kugawana ripoti na mafanikio yetu kila mwezi! Kumbuka: ili kufanikiwa kila mwezi, cluster yako yafaa: 1) Hudhuria mkutano wako wa cluster na ukumbushe vikundi vingine kuhudhuria. 2) Pitia matokeo ambayo cluster yako imefikia: miti iliyopandwa, vikundi viivyohesabiwa miti na jinsi pesa ilitumiwa na cluster kwa pamoja. 3) Tuma ripoti kupitia Palm kuhusu mkutano wa cluster na kuhusu matumizi ya pesa za cluster. 4) Pangia uhesabu miti pamoja na watumishi wa cluster. Hakikisha mmoja kutoka kwa cluster yenu anasaidia katika kila uhesabu miti! 5) Alikeni marafiki na majirani kuingia katika TIST mkutanoni mwa cluster.

T unahitaji kusimamia ardhi yetu kwa uangalifu ili tusipoteze rutuba ya udongo na madini na kupunguza uzalishaji. Ili laweza kutendeka mkulima anapopanda aina moja ya mmea misimu mingi inayofuatana , ama udongo unapobebwa. Kukuza ainaa moja ya chakula katika mashamba yetu mwaka baada ya mwaka kwaweza kufanya wadudu wa aina kadhaa walio katika mimea hiyo kuongezeka katika ardhi yetu kwani wana makazi na chakula mwaka baada ya mwaka (angalia makala yafuatayo kuhusu ugonjwa unaoitwa Maize Necrosis). Wadudu hawa waweza kuwa wengi hadi tusiweze kuvuna mme mzuri. Jiepushe na ukulima huu wa mmea wa aina moja ili kuweka udongo wako ukiwa na rutuba. Kutolewa kwa virutubisho muhimu hupunguza mazao na waweza kusababisha uchache wa chakula. Waweza kufanya nini ili kuweka shamba lako likiwa lenye rutuba na uzalishaji Panda mimea au miti ya jamii ya kunde inayoweka virutubisho udongoni. Mimea katika familia ya maharagwe ina mizizi inayochukua naitrojeni kutoka kwa hewa na kuigeuza kuwa virutubisho ambavyo mimea inaweza kutumia. Tunapopanda maharagwe, kunde, soya na miti kama Sesbania, Sesban, Leucaena, na Acacia, tunaongeza naitrojeni kwa udongo bila kuongeza mboleo za kemikali. Jaribu kuzungusha mimea kwa sababu mimea tofauti huongeza na kutoa virutubisho vya udongo tofauti, kwa hivyo mmea utakaofuata kupandwa utarudisha virutubisho vilivyotolewa mwaka uliofuata. Kwa mfano, tunazungusha mimea katika shamba kwa njia hii: Msimu1 Maharagwe Msimu 2 Mtama Msimu 3 Mahindi Msimu 4 Kulisha mifugo (taka yao huongeza virutubisho katika mashamba yetu) Msimu 5 Maharagwe Kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo: Kwa sababu virutubisho vingi vya udongo vipo katika udongo wa juu, jambo lolote linaloachisha mmomonyoko wa udongo husaidia kupunguza kupotea kwa virutubisho. Jaribu kilimo hai na upande miti katika shamba lako. Tunapozingatia njia hizi bora za kufanya mambo katika mashamba yetu tunaweza kupata mazao mazuri miaka mingi inayokuja. Ukaguzi wa cluster husaidia kupima maendeleo na utendaji. Kuweka mashamba yetu yakiwa yenye rutuba na yenye uzalishaji. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 M aize lethal necrosis (MLN) ni ugonjwa unaosababishwa na virusi wa mahindi ambao humekuwa ukiharibu mashamba Kenya. Uliripotiwa kwanza katika nchi ya Peru mwaka 1973, na kuripotiwa mara ya kwanza katika Kenya mwezi wa tano mwaka 2011 katika jimbo la Bomet ambapo watu huuita “Koroito” kumaanisha tauni. Leo, ugonjwa huu umetambaa katika maeneo mengine ya nchi.

Ugonjwa huu unaathiri aina mbalimbali za mahindi (Zea mays). Unapoingia katika shamba la mahindi, unaweza kuharibu asilimia thelathini hadi mia moja ya mimea.Aina zingine zina usugu kidogo katika kukauka na wanaotengeza wanajaribu kutengeza aina bora, lakini MLN ni changamoto kubwa. Ishara za ugonjwa huu wa Maize lethal necrosis a. Majani yanageuka na kuwa rangi ya manjano iliyo na mistari majanini. Inaweza kuanza katika majani yaliyo machanga zaidi na majani makubwa, ikitambaa kutoka ukingoni hadi kati kati ya jani. b. Ugonjwa ukikaa sana, nafaka chache za mahindi hupatikana. Jinsi ya kuzuia Maize lethal necrosis a. Panda aina nyingi za mimea. MLN huathiri mahindi pekee. b. Usipande mahindi karibu na shamba lilaloonyesha ugonjwa huu. c. Panda mahindi msimu mkuu wa mvua, badala ya wakati wa msimu mdogo wa mvua; pumziko ili kati ya mimea ya mahindi huhinikiza mzunguko wa ugonjwa huu. d. Epuka kuleta mahindi na mbplea isiyokauka kutoka kwinginepo hadi shambani mwako. e. Iwapo mahindi yako yamefikiwa na ugonjwa huu, toa mimea iliyogonjeka kutoka shambani. Unaweza kuipa mifugo majani, lakini masikio na nafaka zaweza kuwa hatari na zafaa kuchomwa. Katika mkutano huo mwingine wa cluster yako, jadiliana na wancluster wengine kuhusu ugonjwa huu, gawana mliyoona na mkubaliane kuhusu njia ya kukabana na hatari hii. M aelfu ya wakulima duniani kote hupanda mamilioni ya miti kila mwaka. Miti hii huchangia sana kusafisha mazingira yetu. Miti husafisha hewa kwa kuchukua gesi za kaboni zinazotolewa kwa hewa kujenga vigogo, majani, matawi na mizizi. Hii ni kazi iliyo na umuhimu na inayosaidia sana. Watu wa dunia nzima huishi dunia iliyo bora zaidi miti mipya inapopandwa na miti mizee kuhifadhiwa na kulindwa. Kama tunavyofanya kazi katika TIST kusafisha mazingira na hewa, ndivyo pia, tunafaa kufanya kazi kuweka nyumba zetu na miili yetu ikiwa safi. Tufuatilieni mienendobora ya kufanya mambo na kutia moyo familia zetu na wengineo kufanya vivyo hivyo. Watumishi wa TIST hugawana kila baada ya muda kuhusu njia bora za kiafya na kiusafi na kuuliza memba wa cluster kugawana njia bora pia. Kuosha mikono Kuosha mikono ni rahisi, lakini ni jambo moja muhimu zaidi ya kuishi na afya na kuzuia kuenena kwa magonjwa. Wakati wa mchana mikono yetu hupata uchafu na kuchukua vijidudu kutoka udongoni, kwa watu wengine, nyama isiyopikwa na kutoka kwa mahali kwingineko katika mazingira. Vijidudu vinavyoeneza magonjwa vyaweza kuingia katika miili yetu na kutufanya wagonjwa na kuenea kutoka kwa mikono yetu hadi kwa wengine. Ni muhimu kuosha mikono yetu vizuri kwa maji na sabuni ili kuua vijidudu hivi na kutuzuia kuwa wagonjwa. Kuosha mikono ni muhimu zaidi kabla ya kutayarisha vyakula, baada ya kutumia choo na kabla ya kukula. Tusipoosha mikono yetu vizuri, familia zetu zaweza kupata magonjwa kama kuhara mara nyingi. Tafiti nyingi hushuhudia kuwa tendo la kuisugua mikono ni muhimu zaidi katikakutoa vijidudu. Kama sabuni haipo, mchanga au majivu yaweza kutumika. Kukausha vyombo baada ya kuosha Kukausha vyombo vya kulia na kupikia ni muhimu kwani maji yaliyobaki yaweza kuweka vijidudu na kuvipa mahali pa kuzalia. Twaweza kufanya kifaa cha mbao cha kuweka vyombo ili kuviruhusu kukauka nje kuliko na jua, jambo ambalo litawaua vijidudu hawa. Kama hauwezi fanya hivi, waweza kutumia kitambaa safi kukausha vyombo Kama unatumia kitambaa, twafaa kukiosha na kukikausha vizuri kila baada ya muda ili kukizuia kuwa makazi ya vijidudu na kusababisha vijidudu kuenea. Udhibiti wa panya na mbu Panya na mbu waweza kubeba magonjwa. Kusaidia kudhibiti hawa, twaweza:

- Kuwasisha viwanja vyetu kwa kuvitoa vichaka na nyasi isiyohitajika - Kutoa maji yote yaliyosimama karibu na uwanja wako. Hata kiasi kidogo cha maji katika taka kidogo chaweza kuwa makazi ya kuzalia ya mbu ambao hubeba malaria kwa hivyo toa taka yote. - Toa au ufunike vyakula vyote vilivyobaki - Weka taka nje ya nyumba katika mkebe uliofunikwa au shimo la taka. - Fagia nyumba na uwanja wako kila siku. - Kumbuka kutumia neti ya mbu kila siku Acheni tuweke mazingira yetu yakiwa ya kijani na safi ili kupata makazi yenye afya.

KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Kukata miti yote FANYA hivi Chagua mti mmoja mmoja. T unajivunia sana kuwa wanaTIST wote wanafuatilia maadili ya TIST na kuishi wakizingatia kandarasi waliyotia saini. Ni wanaTIST wachache waliovunja mkataba huo, wakakata miti yote na kuiuza kutumika vinginevyo. Kwa kweli ni chini ya asilimia moja ya mashamba elfu arobaini katika Kenya imekatwa katika miaka nane ambayo TIST imekuwa Kenya. Madhumuni ya kupunguza miti ni ili miti iliyobaki ikue na dhamani yake ipande inavyofaa. Miti hii iliyokatwa pia hutupa kuni, fito, vifaa vya ujenzi na faida nyinginezo kwa mshiriki wa TIST. Hii ndio sababu tuna sera ya kuanzisha msitu endelevu kwa kuvuna miti isiyopitisha asilimia tano baada ya miti kufikisha miaka kumi. Wakati mwanaTIST mmoja napoamua kukata shamba lote, wanadhuru wanaTIST wote katika kikundi chao, katika cluster yao na katika Kenya yote. Kwa kweli, matendo ya wachache hao yaweza kuletea shida kila mmoja. Tunatarajia wanakikundi wengine na wanacluster kuwa makini na kuhakikisha kuwa hakuna anayekata miti kabla ya wanapopaswa. Kikundi cha OLC kitafanya kazi na baadhi ya washiriki waliofanya kosa na kukata miti kufanya mpango wa hao watu kurudisha sehemu ya faida yao katika mradi wa TIST ili waweze kusaidi wakulima wengine badala ya kuwaumiza. Tulipotia saini mkataba wa makubaliano wa GhG, tuliahidi kutunza miti tunayopanda katika TIST na kuiacha kukua kwa muda wa miaka thelathini kabla ya kuvuna. Hii ni sababu moja ya kwa nini ni muhimu kufikiria kwa makini kuhusu ni miti ya aina gani tunayotaka kukuza katika mashamba yetu. Kupunguza miti na kupogoa kwaweza kusaidi kuweka miti ikiwa yenye afya na kutupa vitu vinavyotumika miti bado ikikua. Kwa ujumla, maana ya kupunguza na kuipogoa miti ni kuboresha afya ya kila mti, pamoja na ya msitu wote. Hili litafanyika kupitia kuichagua miti iliyo bora zaidi katika msitu. Kwa aina nyingi za miti, pamoja na miti ya mbao, grevilea, mikaratusi na cypress, miti hii san asana huwa miti mikubwa zaidi, kila mti ukiwa na shina moja lililonyooka. Miti yaweza kuwa na mahitaji mbalimbali ya nafasi kulingana na aina, mahali, ilivyopandwa (miti iliyo mashambani ya mimea ya vyakula ama miti iliyopandwa ili kupunguiza upepo) na tabia nchi, lakini kuna kanuni zingine za kijumla hutumika. Kukuza miti iliyo na nguvu na afya, nafasi ya mita mbili hupendekezwa. Nafasi hii ni sawa kwa miti mingi ya TIST (grevillea na cypress), lakini kumbuka kuwa miti mingine huitaji nafasi zaidi (miembe na mikandamia, kwa mfano). Kuipa miti nafasi inayofaa huisaidia kupata maji na virutubisho tosha vya kuikuza hadi panapowezekana. Nafasi ndogo zaidi inaruhusiwa miti ilipo michanga. Miti inapokua, miti mingine itakuwa mikubwa kuliko majirani. Hii ndiyo miti wapaswa kuacha. Kuchhagua ni miti gani ya kukata, angalia miti iliyo bora zaidi na ujue kama ina nafasi ifaayo. Kama haina, wafaa kutoa miti mingine iliyo karibu. Unapofanya uhamuzi wa kupunguza miti, kumbuka kuwa kiwango cha ukuaji hutofautiana kulingana na aina ya mti. Kama mwembe unakua karibu na mikaratusi mingi, mwembe unaweza kuwa mdogo na unaokua pole pole zaidi ya mikaratusi inayokua haraka, lakini kwa uhakika haupaswi kukatwa kwa sababu ni mdogo zaidi! Kwa kweli, mti kama mwembe ni wenye umuhimu mkubwa kwa sabubu ya matumizi yake katika kupeana matunda ya kula nay a kuuza. Mazoezi bora unapopunguza miti

• Iruhusu miti kukua hadi ukomavu.

• Punguza hadi inavyofaa (nambari ya miti katika ekari). Katika TIST, twaweza kuchagua hadi asilimia tano ya miti yetu, baada ya miaka kumi, kupunguza kupitia kuchagua inavyokua na kutuletea pesa.

• Kata miti inayokufa, iliyo na magonjwa, inayooza na isiyo na ubora.

• Linda miti kutokana na uharibifu kutakana na ukataji wa magogo.

• Tumia njia za ukataji magogo zenye athari chache inapowezekana.

• Himiza wingi wa aina za miti.

• Fuatilia msitu wako ili kujua kukizuka wadudu na magonjwa.

• Shirikiana na kampuni za serikali katika kudhibiti kuzuka kwa wadudu na magonjwa.

• Zuia mioto ya msitu. USIFANYE hivi Kupunguza miti yako ili ikue vizuri, jiepushe na kukata miti yote. Published by TIST-Kenya.

Inside: ENGLISH VERSION 2 I n February 2012, TIST participants at a Seminar agreed that clusters that do well should be rewarded with a bonus.The seminar came up with activities that bring results and amount that should be paid as a bonus to the Cluster if the results are accomplished. This effort was meant to help Clusters develop to become self-governed in a sustainable way that reduces costs and increases results. Some of the Cluster members will receive over 50,000/= because they have over 100,000 trees in their Cluster. The extra .5/= per tree recognizes that a Cluster having over 100,000 trees is much more costeffective to quantify and to administer than Clusters with fewer trees. Lower costs and big results mean Proof of Progress: Clusters to receive Bonuses this month. that those Cluster participants can earn bigger prepayments on their carbon revenue. Many other Clusters have received bonuses because they have done a good job at reporting their Cluster Meetings and submitting their Accounting Report, and some for getting their Small Groups paid on a regular basis. The Cluster Leaders will receive a letter from the OLC explaining how their bonus was calculated, so that they can read that letter at the Cluster Meeting. We expect that each Cluster will discuss in their Cluster Meeting how they want to spend their bonus. The following are Clusters that have qualified to earn bonuses.

TIST, we find strength in taking action together and sharing our successes with others in our Small Groups, in our Clusters, and beyond. Monthly Cluster Reports on Cluster meetings and accounting are an important part of this success. Each cluster is responsible for submitting an accurate Cluster meeting and Cluster accounting report every month, and should announce how the budget was spent each month during Cluster meetings. Transparency and mutual accountability are key values of TIST. Each TIST cluster must report how it spends its 900/= Cluster budget to achieve big results. Each Cluster Servant has access to a working Palm, they should use the Cluster Meeting and Accounting Forms on the Palms. Make sure you remind your Cluster Servant to send your Cluster records immediately after every meeting. If we do not receive reports from clusters, OLC may assume your cluster is inactive. In this case, you will not receive a budget, or the chance to learn and share at seminars. Let’s work to share our reports What your Cluster should do every month to assure success. and our success every month! Reminder: for success, every month your cluster should: 1) Attend your cluster meeting and remind other groups to attend. 2) Review the results your cluster has achieved: new trees planted, groups quantified, and how budget was spent together as a cluster . 3) Send reports by Palm for Cluster Meeting and Cluster Accounting. 4) Organize quantification with Cluster Servants. Make sure someone from your cluster assists in each quantification! 5) Invite your friends and neighbors to join TIST at a cluster meeting. Share this Mazingira Bora and help them with the application process. 6) Make bigger results! Plant trees, build or buy an energy saving stove, practice CF . Together ,we can achieve anything! ENGLISH VERSION 3 T oday, TIST has more than 160 Clusters. In each cluster Servant Leaders support our success and share their strengths. Each Cluster has governance and leadership as follows: Elected Cluster Leadership

• Cluster Leader.

• Cluster Co- leader.

• Cluster Accountability person. Cluster Leaders, Co-leaders, and Accountability people servein each position for a period of 4 months. After 4 months of service, the Cluster leader rotates out. The Co-leader becomes the Leader while the Accountability person becomes the Co-leader. Women and men alternate in the elections – if this Accountability Person is a man, the next one elected will be a woman. Your Cluster should democratically elect a new Accountability person. Cluster elections are important and mandatory for all TIST Clusters. Roles of Cluster Leadership. Roles of a Leader 1. Should be a servant to the whole cluster and exemplify TIST Values. 2. Leads/facilitates cluster activities: coordinates cluster meeting, quantification and training schedules with other servant leaders. 3. Motivates Groups to achieve big results, including planting trees and practicing CF . Helps the Cluster to remain strong and united 4. Helps plan for well-organized Cluster Meetings with other servant leaders and making sure the meetings are properly led and trained. 5. Works with Accountability Person to ensure that Cluster Meeting and Accounting records are kept properly. 5. Works with Accountability Person to ensure monthly Cluster reports and Accounts reports are sent and are accurate. 6. Helps recruit more Small Groups to be registered. 7. Helps Small Groups have their Green House Gas contracts signed, scanned and uploaded if necessary. 8. Welcomes and introduces any new visitor who might attend the meeting. 9. For payments: gets vouchers and other materials before cluster meeting. Works with Accountability Person to make sure the proper payment process is followed, and communicate any questions or problems to TIST leaders and Cluster Servants. 10.

Reminds Small Group members of the next meeting. Roles of an Accountability Person 1. Receives Cluster Budget and announces amount received and spent at each Cluster meeting. 2. Works with the Cluster to plan how to use the Cluster Budget to achieve big results. 3. Keeps and maintains Cluster records in an organized cluster record book, accurately and in proper condition. 4. Allows inspection of Cluster Records to Cluster members and TIST leaders. 5. Sends both Monthly Cluster meeting and Accounting reports every month. 6. Trains the next accountability person 7. Helps and supports other servants to serve the Small Groups. 8. During payments: hands out vouchers to groups with 2 members present, reviews vouchers, communicates with payment support coordinators, and follows the payment process accurately and honestly. Roles of a Co-leader. 1. Takes over when the leader is not there. A coleader is to serve both the cluster members and the cluster leader . 2. Helps during Cluster Meetings in keeping time 3. Takes records during the cluster meeting. 4. Reads the previous minutes to the meeting 5. Keeps record of the minutes and discussion held in the cluster . 6. Helps train newly elected Accountability People. Cluster Representatives to the Group of Clusters Council. The Co-leader and Accountability person will also serve in GOCC. Each one will serve on the GOCC for a total of 8 months, and then when they become Cluster Leader their service on the GOCC will end. The GOCC is composed of representative from 2 -5 Clusters that are close neighbours. The Group of Council (GOC) will be meeting monthly preferably on the first week of the month and should submit reports of each meeting to OLC. Leadership and Governance in your Cluster. ENGLISH VERSION 4 Roles of Group of Clusters Council Representatives. 1) Discover and share Best Practices from Clusters; 2) Assure high quality training for the Clusters following TIST Values; 3) Assure high quality Quantification following TIST Values; 4) Maintain working equipment for training and Quantification; 5) Report concerns and make recommendations for policies to OLC; We need to manage our land carefully so our farms do not lose useful soil nutrients and minerals, and became less productive. This can happen when a farmer grows one type of crop for several seasons (monoculture), or when soil erodes away. Growing the same crop on our farm year after year also can cause the number of pests for those crops to increase on our land since they have a home and food year after year (see the following article on Maize Necrosis). These pests can become so numerous that we cannot harvest a good crop. Avoid practicing monoculture to keep your soil fertile. The removal of essential soil nutrients decreases crop yields and can cause food shortages. What you can do to keep your farm fertile and productive Plant leguminous crops or trees that fix nitrogen. Plants in the bean and pea family have microbes in their roots that can take nitrogen from the atmosphere and change it into a form that plants can make use of. When we plant beans, cowpeas, soybeans, and trees like Sesbania, Sesban, Leucaena, and Acacia, we increase the nitrogen in our soils without adding chemical fertilizer. Practice crop rotation because different crops add and remove different soil nutrients, so the next crop can replace what is removed in one year the following year. For example, we practice rotation in a field in this way:

Season-1 Beans Season 2 Sorghum Season -3 Maize Season -4 Grazing animals (their waste adds valuable nutrients to our field) Season 5-Beans Preventing soil erosion: As many of the soil nutrients are found in topsoil, any action that stops soil erosion will help reduce nutrient loss. Practice Conservation Farming and plant trees in your field. When we follow these Best Practices our farms can have good yields for years to come. Keeping Our Farms Fertile and Productive. A fter every 3 months, each Cluster is audited. Audits make sure that the Cluster Servant is well-trained, doing an accurate Quantification job, doing a good job of providing training, measuring the knowledge of the Cluster members, and measuring the biodiversity impact the Cluster is having. This provides important information so that the GOCC can make sure that the Cluster Servants are doing a really good job and that the Clusters are making progress toward many more trees, more Conservation Farming, more stoves, and more biodiversity. Clusters that are successful in their audits will continue to receive more support including helping them become SACCOS and be self-governing. Each member has a part to play in order to ensure that your Cluster Audits are successful. Attending Cluster meetings to receive training helps you practice TIST Best Practice in more accurate manner , and achieve better results. When more Cluster members practice CF, adopt TIST stoves, do more nurseries, plant many more trees, the stronger your Cluster becomes and attains higher points during Audits.This helps put your Clusters among the first prioritized Clusters to be considered to become a SACCO. Cluster Audits help measure our progress and performance. 6) Expand TIST through present Clusters; 7) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Cluster Servant is suspended to investigate facts and make recommendations on suspension; 8) Hold Administrative Hearings if a Cluster Leader is not following TIST Values; 9) Recommend people from the Group of Clusters for additional TIST responsibilities such as Auditor, TSE, or Master Trainer and other responsibilities. ENGLISH VERSION 5 M aize lethal necrosis (MLN) is a viral maize disease that has of late devastated farms in Kenya. It was first reported in Peru in 1973, and first reported in Kenya in May 2011 in Bomet County where the local people refer it as “Koroito,” meaning plague. T oday, the disease has spread to many other parts of the country. This disease affects all varieties of maize (Zea mays). When it strikes in a maize field, it can destroy up to 30%-100% of the crop. Some varieties have some resistance to the blight, and breeders are working on improved varieties, but MLN is a serious challenge. Signs of Maize lethal necrosis. Leaves turn yellowish with stripes all over the leaves. This may start with the youngest leaves, and on larger leaves, spreads from leaf edge to center. At advanced stage, the cobs produce very few grains. Be Aware, Maize Lethal Necrosis. As adapted from KARI and CIMMYT How to prevent Maize lethal necrosis. a. Diversify the crops you grow. Maize lethal necrosis only affects maize. b. Do not plant maize near a field that already shows this infection. c. Plant maize at the onset of the main rainy season, rather than during the short rain season; this break between maize crops interrupts the disease cycle. d. Avoid bringing fodder of maize stalks or green manure from elsewhere to your farm. e. In case your maize stalks are affected, immediately remove diseased plants from the field. You may feed leaves to animals, but ears and grains can be dangerous and should be burnt. In your next Cluster meeting, discuss with other members about this disease, share experiences and agree on how to curb the menace. T housands of TIST farmers’ worldwide plant millions of trees each year. These trees contribute enormously in cleaning our environment. Trees clean the air by taking up the excessive carbon emission gases from the atmosphere to build their trunks, leaves, branches and roots.This is hugely important and helpful work.

All of world’s people find the world a better place to live when new trees are planted and old ones conserved and protected. Just as we work in TIST to make the environment and air clean, so, too should we work to keep our homes and ourselves clean and hygienic. Let’s follow these Best Practices and encourage our families and others to do the same. TIST servants regularly share these Best Practices on health and hygiene and ask cluster members to share their best practices too. Washing hands. Washing our hands is simple, but it is one of the most important things we can do to stay healthy and prevent the spread of diseases. During the day our hands get dirty and pick up germs from soil, other people, raw meat and other places in the environment. Germs can enter our bodies and make us sick and spread from our hands to others. It is important to wash our hands thoroughly with water and soap to kill germs and stop us from getting sick. Hand washing is especially important before preparing food, after using the latrine and before eating. If we don’t wash our hands well, our families may get diseases like diarrhea more often. Many studies prove that the action of rubbing the hands is the most important factor in removing germs. If soap is not available, sand or ash also is effective. Drying utensils after washing. Drying food and cooking utensils is important because leftover water can hold germs and give them a place to multiply. We can make simple wooden drying racks to let utensils dry in the sun, which can help kill germs. If this cannot be done, we can use a clean cloth to dry utensils. If using a cloth, we should wash and thoroughly dry the cloth regularly to prevent the cloth from becoming a home for germs, and causing germs to spread. Rodent and mosquito control. Rats and mosquitoes can carry diseases. To help control these pests, we can: - Clear our compounds of any unwanted bushes and grass. - Drain away any stagnant water near your compound. Even a small amount of water on a piece of rubbish can provide a breeding place for mosquitoes that carry malaria, so clear away rubbish. - Clear away or cover securely any left over food. - Keep rubbish outside the house in a covered container or rubbish pit. - Sweep your house and compound daily. - Remember to use mosquito nets all the time. Let’s make our environment green and clean for a healthy habitation. Keeping Our Environment and Our Bodies Clean. ENGLISH VERSION 6 We are very proud that almost all TIST members are following the TIST Values and living by the contract that they signed. Very few TIST members have broken the contract, clear cut their trees, and sold them for other uses. In fact less than 1% of the 40,000 TIST groves in Kenya have been cut during the 8 years that TIST has been operating in Kenya. The purpose of having regular thinning is to achieve maximum growth and value of the trees that are left standing.The cuttings also provide firewood, poles, building materials, and other benefits directly to the TIST participant. That is the reason that we have the policy of creating a sustainable forest by only harvesting a maximum of 5% of the trees per year after the trees are 10 years old. When an occasional TIST member decides to clear cut their grove, they harm all the rest of the TIST members in their Small Group, in their Cluster and in all of Kenya. In fact, the actions of that very few people can cause big problems for everyone. We expect other small group members and members of the Cluster to pay attention and make sure that no one cuts trees before they are supposed to. The OLC is going to work with some of the participants who made a mistake and cut the trees to work out a proper plan for those people to reinvest some of their profits into the TIST Program so they are able to help other farmers rather than hurt them. When we signed the GhG Agreement, we committed to maintain trees we plant for TIST to let them grow for 30 years before harvest. This is one reason it’s so important to think carefully about what kinds of trees we want to grow on our farms. Thinning and pruning can help keep trees healthy and provide useful products while the trees grow. In general, the purpose of thinning and pruning trees is to improve individual tree health, as well as overall forest health. This is done by protecting the “best” trees in the forest and thinning the others. For many species, including hardwoods, grevillea, eucalyptus and cypress, the trees to thin around are the largest trees, each with a single, straight stem. Trees may have different needs for space depending on species, site, planting style (woodlot, incorporated into crop fields, or windbreak), and climate, but some general principles apply. To grow strong, healthy trees, a spacing of two meters or more is recommended.This spacing works for many TIST trees (i.e. grevillea and cypress), but remember some trees require more space (mango and macadamia, for example). Giving trees proper spacing helps them get enough water and nutrients to grow to their full potential. Closer spacing is acceptable when Thinning your trees for successful growth, Avoid Clear - Cutting. DO THIS Single tree selection trees are young.As the trees begin to mature, some trees will be larger and more robust than their neighbors.These are the trees that should be kept. In determining which trees should be removed, look at the best trees and determine if they are appropriately spaced. If they are not, you should remove some nearby trees. When making thinning choices, remember that growth rate varies greatly by species. If a mango tree is growing near lots of eucalyptus, the mango may be far smaller and slower growing than the fast-growing eucalyptus, but it certainly should not be cut simply because it is smaller! In fact, a tree like mango is of great importance due to its usefulness in producing fruit for food and sale. Best Practices while Thinning

• Allow crop trees to grow to maturity.

• Thin to proper stocking (number of trees per acre). In TIST, we can select up to 5% of our trees, after 10 years, thinning by selecting as they grow, and providing income.

• Remove dying, diseased, decaying, and poor-quality trees.

• Protect trees from logging damage.

• Use low-impact logging methods.

• Promote tree species diversity.

• Monitor your forest for insect and disease outbreaks.

• Cooperate with government agencies in controlling forest insect and disease outbreaks

. • Prevent wild fire. DO NOT do this Published by TIST-Kenya.

K atika TIST tunapata nguvu za kuchukua hatua pamoja na kugawana mafanikio yetu na wengine katika vikundi vyetu, katika cluster zetu na kwa wengi zaidi. Ripoti za kila mwezi za cluster kuhusu mikutano ya cluster na matumizi ya pesa ni sehemu muhimu katika mafanikio haya. Kila cluster ina jukumu la kutuma ripoti ya ukweli kuhusu mkutano na matumizi ya pesa kila mwezi, na yapaswa kutangaza jinsi pesa za kila mwezi zilivyotumika kila mwezi katika mikutano ya cluster. Uwazi na kuwajibikiana ni maadili yenye uzito mwingi katika TIST. Kila cluster ya TIST yafaa kuripoti jinsi walivyotumia shilingi mia tisa walizopewa kufikia matokeo makubwa. Kila mtumishi wa cluster ana uwezo wa kufikia Palm inayofanya kazi, wanapaswa kutumia fomu za mikutano ya cluster na za matumizi ya pesa zilizo katika Palm zao. Hakikisha umekumbusha mtumishi wa cluster yako kutuma rekodi za cluster mara moja baada ya mkutano kila mwezi. Tusipopata ripoti kutoka cluster yenu, OLC waweza kufikiri kuwa cluster yenu haiendelei na kazi zake. Hapa, hamtapata pesa za kila mwezi za matumizi ya cluster, ama nafasi ya kusoma na kugawana katika semina. Acheni kufanye kazi ya kugawana ripoti na mafanikio yetu kila mwezi! Kumbuka: ili kufanikiwa kila mwezi, cluster yako yafaa: 1) Hudhuria mkutano wako wa cluster na ukumbushe vikundi vingine kuhudhuria. 2) Pitia matokeo ambayo cluster yako imefikia: miti iliyopandwa, vikundi viivyohesabiwa miti na jinsi pesa ilitumiwa na cluster kwa pamoja. 3) Tuma ripoti kupitia Palm kuhusu mkutano wa cluster na kuhusu matumizi ya pesa za cluster. 4) Pangia uhesabu miti pamoja na watumishi wa cluster. Hakikisha mmoja kutoka kwa cluster yenu anasaidia katika kila uhesabu miti! 5) Alikeni marafiki na majirani kuingia katika TIST mkutanoni mwa cluster.

KISWAHILI VERSION 3 T IST ina zaidi ya cluster mia moja sitini. Katika kila cluster, viongozi watumishi husaidia katika mafanikio yetu na hugawana nguvu zao nasi. Kila cluster inaa utawala na uongozi kama ifuatavyo: Viongozi wa cluster waliochaguliwa,

• Kiongozi wa cluster

• Msaidizi wa kiongozi katika cluster

• Mwajibikaji wa cluster Cluster elections are important and mandatory

for all TIST Clusters. Kiongozi, msaidizi wake na mwajibikaji wa cluster hutumika katika kila nafasi kwa muda wa miezi mine. Baada ya miezi mine ya kutumika, kiongozi wa cluster hutoka uongozini. Msaidizi wake huingia kuwa kiongozi naye Mwajibikaji huwa msaidizi wa kiongozi. Wanawake na wanaume huzungukana katika uchaguzi- kama mwajibikaji ni mwanamume, huyo mwingine atakuwa mwanamke. Cluster yako yafaa kuchagua mwajibikaji mpya kwa njia ya kidemokrasia. Uchaguzi wa cluster ni muhimuna wa lazima kwa cluster zote za TIST. Majukumu ya viongozi wa cluster. Majukumu ya kiongozi. 1. Anafaa kuwa mtumishi wa cluster yote na kuonyesha maadili ya TIST. 2.

Kila mmoja wao atatumika katika GOCC kwa muda wa miezi minane halafu akiwa kiongozi wa cluster, utumishi wao katika GOCC utaisha. GOCC ina wawakilishi kutoka cluster mbili kufika tano ambazo ni majirani wa karibu. Kikundi hiki kitakutana kila mwezi ikiwezekana wiki ya kwanza na chapaswa kutuma ripoti ya kila mkutano kwa OLC. Uongozi na Utawala katika cluster yako. KISWAHILI VERSION 4 Majukumu ya wawakilishi katika GOCC 1) Kugundua na kugawana njia bora za kufanya mambo kutoka kwa cluster; 2) Uhakikikisha mafunzo ya hali yaa juu katika cluster yakifuatilia maadili ya TIST; 3) Uhakikisha uhesabu miti wa hali ya juu unaofuatilia maadili ya TIST; 4) Hutunza vyombo vya kazi vya ufunzaji na uhesabu miti; 5) Huripoti wasiwasi zilizopo na kutoa mapendekezo ya sera kwa OLC; 6) Hueneza TIST kupitia cluster zilizopo; 7) Huita mikutano ya utawala iwapo mtumishi amesimamishwa kazi ili kuangalia mambo yaliyokuwa na kutoa mapendekezo kuhusu kusimamishwa kwake; 8) Huita mikutano ya utawala iwapo kiongozi wa cluster hafuatilii maadili ya TIST; Hupendekeza watu katika GOCC watakaoongezwa majukumu zaidi kwa mfano mkaguzi,TSE, ama mkufunzi mkuu na kazi zingine. K ila baada ya miezi mitatu, kila cluster ukaguliwa. Ukaguzi huhakikisha kuwa mtumishi wa clus ter amefunzwa vizuri, anafanya kazi ya uhesabu miti iliyo sahihi, anafanya kazi nzuri ya kufunza, kupima ujuzi wa memba wa cluster, na kupima athari ya cluster kwa bionuwai. Jambo hili uwapa taarifa muhimu ili GOCC ihakikishe kuwa watumishi wa cluster wanafanya kazi iliyo nzuri na kuwa cluster zinaendelea kuelekea kupata miti mingi , kilimo hai, meko bora zaidi na bionuwai zaidi. Cluster zinazopita ukaguzi huu zitaendelea kupata usaidizi zaidi pamoja na kuwasaidia kuwa SACCO na kujitawala. Kila memba ana sehemu yake ya kusaidia ili kuhakikisha kuwa ukaguzi wa cluster unafanikiwa. Kuhudhuria mikutano ya cluster ili kupata mafunzo ukusaidia kutumia njia bora zaidi za kufanya mambo kwa njia iliyo sahihi zaidi na kupata matokeo bora zaidi. Wakati memba wa cluster wengi zaidi hufanya kilimo hai, kutumia meko ya TIST, kuanzisha minanda zaidi, kupanda miti mingi zaidi, ndivyo cluster yako inaongeza nguvu na kupata alama nyingi zaidi katika ukaguzi. Haya husaidia kuweka cluster yenu juu kwa cluster zinazopewa kapaumbele kuwa SACCO. T unahitaji kusimamia ardhi yetu kwa uangalifu ili tusipoteze rutuba ya udongo na madini na kupunguza uzalishaji. Ili laweza kutendeka mkulima anapopanda aina moja ya mmea misimu mingi inayofuatana , ama udongo unapobebwa. Kukuza ainaa moja ya chakula katika mashamba yetu mwaka baada ya mwaka kwaweza kufanya wadudu wa aina kadhaa walio katika mimea hiyo kuongezeka katika ardhi yetu kwani wana makazi na chakula mwaka baada ya mwaka (angalia makala yafuatayo kuhusu ugonjwa unaoitwa Maize Necrosis). Wadudu hawa waweza kuwa wengi hadi tusiweze kuvuna mme mzuri. Jiepushe na ukulima huu wa mmea wa aina moja ili kuweka udongo wako ukiwa na rutuba. Kutolewa kwa virutubisho muhimu hupunguza mazao na waweza kusababisha uchache wa chakula. Waweza kufanya nini ili kuweka shamba lako likiwa lenye rutuba na uzalishaji Panda mimea au miti ya jamii ya kunde inayoweka virutubisho udongoni. Mimea katika familia ya maharagwe ina mizizi inayochukua naitrojeni kutoka kwa hewa na kuigeuza kuwa virutubisho ambavyo mimea inaweza kutumia. Tunapopanda maharagwe, kunde, soya na miti kama Sesbania, Sesban, Leucaena, na Acacia, tunaongeza naitrojeni kwa udongo bila kuongeza mboleo za kemikali. Jaribu kuzungusha mimea kwa sababu mimea tofauti huongeza na kutoa virutubisho vya udongo tofauti, kwa hivyo mmea utakaofuata kupandwa utarudisha virutubisho vilivyotolewa mwaka uliofuata. Kwa mfano, tunazungusha mimea katika shamba kwa njia hii:

Msimu1 Maharagwe Msimu 2 Mtama Msimu 3 Mahindi Msimu 4 Kulisha mifugo (taka yao huongeza virutubisho katika mashamba yetu) Msimu 5 Maharagwe Kuzuia mmomonyoko wa udongo: Kwa sababu virutubisho vingi vya udongo vipo katika udongo wa juu, jambo lolote linaloachisha mmomonyoko wa udongo husaidia kupunguza kupotea kwa virutubisho. Jaribu kilimo hai na upande miti katika shamba lako. Tunapozingatia njia hizi bora za kufanya mambo katika mashamba yetu tunaweza kupata mazao mazuri miaka mingi inayokuja. Ukaguzi wa cluster husaidia kupima maendeleo na utendaji. Kuweka mashamba yetu yakiwa yenye rutuba na yenye uzalishaji. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 M aize lethal necrosis (MLN) ni ugonjwa unaosababishwa na virusi wa mahindi ambao humekuwa ukiharibu mashamba Kenya. Uliripotiwa kwanza katika nchi ya Peru mwaka 1973, na kuripotiwa mara ya kwanza katika Kenya mwezi wa tano mwaka 2011 katika jimbo la Bomet ambapo watu huuita “Koroito” kumaanisha tauni. Leo, ugonjwa huu umetambaa katika maeneo mengine ya nchi. Ugonjwa huu unaathiri aina mbalimbali za mahindi (Zea mays). Unapoingia katika shamba la mahindi, unaweza kuharibu asilimia thelathini hadi mia moja ya mimea.Aina zingine zina usugu kidogo katika kukauka na wanaotengeza wanajaribu kutengeza aina bora, lakini MLN ni changamoto kubwa. Ishara za ugonjwa huu wa Maize lethal necrosis a. Majani yanageuka na kuwa rangi ya manjano iliyo na mistari majanini. Inaweza kuanza katika majani yaliyo machanga zaidi na majani makubwa, ikitambaa kutoka ukingoni hadi kati kati ya jani. b. Ugonjwa ukikaa sana, nafaka chache za mahindi hupatikana. Jinsi ya kuzuia Maize lethal necrosis a. Panda aina nyingi za mimea. MLN huathiri mahindi pekee. b. Usipande mahindi karibu na shamba lilaloonyesha ugonjwa huu. c. Panda mahindi msimu mkuu wa mvua, badala ya wakati wa msimu mdogo wa mvua; pumziko ili kati ya mimea ya mahindi huhinikiza mzunguko wa ugonjwa huu. d. Epuka kuleta mahindi na mbplea isiyokauka kutoka kwinginepo hadi shambani mwako. e. Iwapo mahindi yako yamefikiwa na ugonjwa huu, toa mimea iliyogonjeka kutoka shambani. Unaweza kuipa mifugo majani, lakini masikio na nafaka zaweza kuwa hatari na zafaa kuchomwa. Katika mkutano huo mwingine wa cluster yako, jadiliana na wancluster wengine kuhusu ugonjwa huu, gawana mliyoona na mkubaliane kuhusu njia ya kukabana na hatari hii. M aelfu ya wakulima duniani kote hupanda mamilioni ya miti kila mwaka. Miti hii huchangia sana kusafisha mazingira yetu. Miti husafisha hewa kwa kuchukua gesi za kaboni zinazotolewa kwa hewa kujenga vigogo, majani, matawi na mizizi. Hii ni kazi iliyo na umuhimu na inayosaidia sana. Watu wa dunia nzima huishi dunia iliyo bora zaidi miti mipya inapopandwa na miti mizee kuhifadhiwa na kulindwa. Kama tunavyofanya kazi katika TIST kusafisha mazingira na hewa, ndivyo pia, tunafaa kufanya kazi kuweka nyumba zetu na miili yetu ikiwa safi. Tufuatilieni mienendobora ya kufanya mambo na kutia moyo familia zetu na wengineo kufanya vivyo hivyo. Watumishi wa TIST hugawana kila baada ya muda kuhusu njia bora za kiafya na kiusafi na kuuliza memba wa cluster kugawana njia bora pia. Kuosha mikono Kuosha mikono ni rahisi, lakini ni jambo moja muhimu zaidi ya kuishi na afya na kuzuia kuenena kwa magonjwa. Wakati wa mchana mikono yetu hupata uchafu na kuchukua vijidudu kutoka udongoni, kwa watu wengine, nyama isiyopikwa na kutoka kwa mahali kwingineko katika mazingira. Vijidudu vinavyoeneza magonjwa vyaweza kuingia katika miili yetu na kutufanya wagonjwa na kuenea kutoka kwa mikono yetu hadi kwa wengine. Ni muhimu kuosha mikono yetu vizuri kwa maji na sabuni ili kuua vijidudu hivi na kutuzuia kuwa wagonjwa. Kuosha mikono ni muhimu zaidi kabla ya kutayarisha vyakula, baada ya kutumia choo na kabla ya kukula. Tusipoosha mikono yetu vizuri, familia zetu zaweza kupata magonjwa kama kuhara mara nyingi. Tafiti nyingi hushuhudia kuwa tendo la kuisugua mikono ni muhimu zaidi katikakutoa vijidudu. Kama sabuni haipo, mchanga au majivu yaweza kutumika. Kukausha vyombo baada ya kuosha Kukausha vyombo vya kulia na kupikia ni muhimu kwani maji yaliyobaki yaweza kuweka vijidudu na kuvipa mahali pa kuzalia. Twaweza kufanya kifaa cha mbao cha kuweka vyombo ili kuviruhusu kukauka nje kuliko na jua, jambo ambalo litawaua vijidudu hawa. Kama hauwezi fanya hivi, waweza kutumia kitambaa safi kukausha vyombo Kama unatumia kitambaa, twafaa kukiosha na kukikausha vizuri kila baada ya muda ili kukizuia kuwa makazi ya vijidudu na kusababisha vijidudu kuenea. Udhibiti wa panya na mbu Panya na mbu waweza kubeba magonjwa. Kusaidia kudhibiti hawa, twaweza: - Kuwasisha viwanja vyetu kwa kuvitoa vichaka na nyasi isiyohitajika - Kutoa maji yote yaliyosimama karibu na uwanja wako. Hata kiasi kidogo cha maji katika taka kidogo chaweza kuwa makazi ya kuzalia ya mbu ambao hubeba malaria kwa hivyo toa taka yote. - Toa au ufunike vyakula vyote vilivyobaki - Weka taka nje ya nyumba katika mkebe uliofunikwa au shimo la taka.

- Fagia nyumba na uwanja wako kila siku. - Kumbuka kutumia neti ya mbu kila siku Acheni tuweke mazingira yetu yakiwa ya kijani na safi ili kupata makazi yenye afya. Chunga, Ugonjwa mbaya wa mahindi (Maize Lethal Necrosis). Ujumbe ulioombwa kutoka kwa KARI na CIMMYT Kutunza mazingira yetu na miili yetu. KISWAHILI VERSION 6 Kukata miti yote FANYA hivi Chagua mti mmoja mmoja. T unajivunia sana kuwa wanaTIST wote wanafuatilia maadili ya TIST na kuishi wakizingatia kandarasi waliyotia saini. Ni wanaTIST wachache waliovunja mkataba huo, wakakata miti yote na kuiuza kutumika vinginevyo. Kwa kweli ni chini ya asilimia moja ya mashamba elfu arobaini katika Kenya imekatwa katika miaka nane ambayo TIST imekuwa Kenya. Madhumuni ya kupunguza miti ni ili miti iliyobaki ikue na dhamani yake ipande inavyofaa. Miti hii iliyokatwa pia hutupa kuni, fito, vifaa vya ujenzi na faida nyinginezo kwa mshiriki wa TIST. Hii ndio sababu tuna sera ya kuanzisha msitu endelevu kwa kuvuna miti isiyopitisha asilimia tano baada ya miti kufikisha miaka kumi. Wakati mwanaTIST mmoja napoamua kukata shamba lote, wanadhuru wanaTIST wote katika kikundi chao, katika cluster yao na katika Kenya yote. Kwa kweli, matendo ya wachache hao yaweza kuletea shida kila mmoja. Tunatarajia wanakikundi wengine na wanacluster kuwa makini na kuhakikisha kuwa hakuna anayekata miti kabla ya wanapopaswa. Kikundi cha OLC kitafanya kazi na baadhi ya washiriki waliofanya kosa na kukata miti kufanya mpango wa hao watu kurudisha sehemu ya faida yao katika mradi wa TIST ili waweze kusaidi wakulima wengine badala ya kuwaumiza. Tulipotia saini mkataba wa makubaliano wa GhG, tuliahidi kutunza miti tunayopanda katika TIST na kuiacha kukua kwa muda wa miaka thelathini kabla ya kuvuna. Hii ni sababu moja ya kwa nini ni muhimu kufikiria kwa makini kuhusu ni miti ya aina gani tunayotaka kukuza katika mashamba yetu. Kupunguza miti na kupogoa kwaweza kusaidi kuweka miti ikiwa yenye afya na kutupa vitu vinavyotumika miti bado ikikua. Kwa ujumla, maana ya kupunguza na kuipogoa miti ni kuboresha afya ya kila mti, pamoja na ya msitu wote. Hili litafanyika kupitia kuichagua miti iliyo bora zaidi katika msitu. Kwa aina nyingi za miti, pamoja na miti ya mbao, grevilea, mikaratusi na cypress, miti hii san asana huwa miti mikubwa zaidi, kila mti ukiwa na shina moja lililonyooka. Miti yaweza kuwa na mahitaji mbalimbali ya nafasi kulingana na aina, mahali, ilivyopandwa (miti iliyo mashambani ya mimea ya vyakula ama miti iliyopandwa ili kupunguiza upepo) na tabia nchi, lakini kuna kanuni zingine za kijumla hutumika. Kukuza miti iliyo na nguvu na afya, nafasi ya mita mbili hupendekezwa. Nafasi hii ni sawa kwa miti mingi ya TIST (grevillea na cypress), lakini kumbuka kuwa miti mingine huitaji nafasi zaidi (miembe na mikandamia, kwa mfano). Kuipa miti nafasi inayofaa huisaidia kupata maji na virutubisho tosha vya kuikuza hadi panapowezekana. Nafasi ndogo zaidi inaruhusiwa miti ilipo michanga. Miti inapokua, miti mingine itakuwa mikubwa kuliko majirani. Hii ndiyo miti wapaswa kuacha. Kuchhagua ni miti gani ya kukata, angalia miti iliyo bora zaidi na ujue kama ina nafasi ifaayo. Kama haina, wafaa kutoa miti mingine iliyo karibu. Unapofanya uhamuzi wa kupunguza miti, kumbuka kuwa kiwango cha ukuaji hutofautiana kulingana na aina ya mti. Kama mwembe unakua karibu na mikaratusi mingi, mwembe unaweza kuwa mdogo na unaokua pole pole zaidi ya mikaratusi inayokua haraka, lakini kwa uhakika haupaswi kukatwa kwa sababu ni mdogo zaidi! Kwa kweli, mti kama mwembe ni wenye umuhimu mkubwa kwa sabubu ya matumizi yake katika kupeana matunda ya kula nay a kuuza. Mazoezi bora unapopunguza miti

• Iruhusu miti kukua hadi ukomavu.

• Punguza hadi inavyofaa (nambari ya miti katika ekari). Katika TIST, twaweza kuchagua hadi asilimia tano ya miti yetu, baada ya miaka kumi, kupunguza kupitia kuchagua inavyokua na kutuletea pesa.

• Kata miti inayokufa, iliyo na magonjwa, inayooza na isiyo na ubora.

• Linda miti kutokana na uharibifu kutakana na ukataji wa magogo.

• Tumia njia za ukataji magogo zenye athari chache inapowezekana.

• Himiza wingi wa aina za miti.

• Fuatilia msitu wako ili kujua kukizuka wadudu na magonjwa.

• Shirikiana na kampuni za serikali katika kudhibiti kuzuka kwa wadudu na magonjwa.

• Zuia mioto ya msitu. USIFANYE hivi Kupunguza miti yako ili ikue vizuri, jiepushe na kukata miti yote. Published by TIST-Kenya.

Yila memba wa tist waamua kwenga miti yake , ni uumiasya kakundi kake kala ke nthini wa ngwatanio ya tist nthini wa Kenya. Kwa w’o wiko uu wa andu asu anini nuetae nthina munene kwa kila umwe. Twiikwata tukundi tunini na a member oothe kumanya na kuikiithya vaiumwe unatemanga miti yake itavikiite ivinda ya utemwa. OLC nikuthukuma vamwe na amwe ala meekie makosa ma kutema miti yoo yoonthe na kusisya walany’o ula matonya utumia kuikiithya andu asu nimavanda ingi ukwati woo nthini wa walany’o wa Tist nikana methiwe matonya kutethya aimi vandu va kumaumisy. Yila twee kia saii wiw’ano wa GhG Agreement, twithwaa tweeyumya kwikalya miti yitu ila tuvandite ta ya Tist vandu va myaka 30 mbee wa kumiketha. Kii nikimwe kati wa itumi ila twaile usisya mbee wa kuvanda miti ni miti yiva tukwenda nthini wa miunda yiotu na ikwithiwa itonya kwikala kwa ivinda yiu iteutemwa. Kusea na kutaanisya miti ni useo nundu niku nengae miti kwiana nesa na kuitunenge vaita wa utumia usyao wa miti o iendee na kwiana. Kwa vamwe vata wa kusea na kutaanisya miti ni kwailya uima wa muti na mutitu w’onthe. Uu wikawa kwa kusuvia miti ila miseo mutituni kwa kuveta ila itena uima museo na ila itonya kutuma uyu museo uteana nesa. Kwa mithemba mingi ya miti ta mikuvulya, minyoonyoo, misanduku miti ya kuveta ni ila minene ila yina muthamba umwe mulungalu. Miti niyithiawa na mawendi kivathukany’o ya mwanya kwianana na muvai wa muti na niva ivanditwe na ivandiwe ki (ta miti ivandaniw’e na liu kana ya kusiia nzeve), uvinduku wa nzeve onakau mawendi amwe methiawa kwa kila muvai. Kumea yina vinya, na yaile miti kaingi niyendaa utaaniu wa matambya eli kana maingi. Mwanya uyu wa matambya eli kaingi uthukumaa kwa miti ta mikuvulya na misanduku. lilikana ka miti ingi niyendaa mwanya munenange ta miembe na mikandania. kunenga miti mwanya ula waile ninengae miti ivuso ya kukwata kiw’u nesa na unou kuma muthangani na kwiana undu vaile. Kuvanda miti uthungianie vanini nikwitikilikaa kwa miti yi mini indi oundu miti iendee na kwiana imwe niyonekaa yi minene kwi ingi. Miti ino minene kwi isu ingii niyo yaile kuekwa na ila minini iteanite nesa kuvetwa, Sisya miti ila minene na miseo yila uusakua miti ya kutia uendee na utaanisya miti. Ethiwa yothe no miseo sisya uole imwe nikana ivikie utaaniu ula waile na yithiwe itonya kwiana nesa. Yila uusakua miti ya kuveta lilkana, kwina kwa miti kuendanasy na muvai wa muti nundu mithemba imwe niyianaa kwi ingi. Ethiwa ni kiembe kimeete vakuvi na musanduku, kiembe nikyonekaa ta kite kwiana nundu musanduku wianaa mituki, kii ti kitumi kya kuveta kiembe nundu ni kinini anyee. Sisya useo na vaita wa muembe ni mwingi kwi wa musandu nundu muembe no utumike ta liu na no ukunenge mbesa wata matunda maw’o. Mawiko maseo yila uutanisya miti

• Eka miti ila ya liu yiane nginya ivike

• Ola miti yianie ila yaile uyiatiia walany’o wa miti ila yaile kwithiwa nthini wa eka umwe.

Nthini wa tist no tusakue nginya 5% ya miti yitu itina wa myaka ikumi,

• Kutaanisya oundu iendee kwiana na iiendeea kutune ukwati.

• Kuveta ila myumu, miwau, iendee kwoa na ila itemiseo.

• Suvia miti kumana na kiw’u kuema uthi

• Tumia nzia ila itatuumanasya kiw’u

• Kwata mbau uvandi wa miti mithemba kivathukany’o

• Syaiisya mutitu waku kumana na tusamu tula twanangaa na uwau

• Ngwatana na athukumi kuma ngwatanioni sya selikalini kusiia mowau na tusamu tula twanangaa mititu.

• Siia mwaki wa kitheka. Ndukeke uu Kutaanisya miti kwa kwiana kwailu kwa miti
