Julia Wangui Mathara: TIST Values of Low Budget, High Results is working well for me and my family.
Story and interview done by David Wambugu Wiyumiririe Cluster Servant.
M y name is Julia Wangui Mathara, a TIST Farmer and member of Caanan Small Group, TIST number 2008Ke517, Suguroi Cluster withinWiyumiririe region, Laikipia County. In the year 2008, TIST expanded to my area through TIST Social Entrepreneurship (TSE) efforts. Jinarris Gachoya from Lamuria was the Team Leader. Among the first people to receive TIST was Daniel Ndumia. Daniel moved from home to home talking about TIST to everyone in the village. I later started attending Cluster Meetings where I learntmore about it. We formed a Small Group and named it Caanan. We were educated to plant all types of trees except the Eucalyptus, because it harms croplands, and not to cut the already existing trees, as they would be of great help to our environment. We were also taught about Small Group weekly meetings.This helped us to work together and help each other. We began establishing tree nurseries and doing Conservation Farming. In addition to Cluster meetings, we have also learnt a lot from Mazingira Bora monthly newsletters. We have learnt many things like how to manage our health, diabetes, pressure, and we also learnt TIST values. As we continued participating in TIST, the more we learnt new things.When baseline and tree quantification was done by Patricia and Virginia, we got to understand carbon business better. Though we had learnt it at the Cluster meetings, it is only when TIST Quantifiers came to our farmers that we really appreciated and understood the subject. In TIST, I learnt new ways of making money from selling seedlings from my tree nursery. There are many types of species; Cyprus, Gravellia, Pine, and Casuarina. I have also added nontimber fruit seedlings like Tree Tomatoes, Sweet Banana, Yellow Passion, and Purple Passion seedlings. I am aware these non-timber seedlings won’t count for carbon, but I know they are good for nutrition. Today I have more than 2,000 seedlings. I appreciate and practice the TIST Value of “Low Budget High Results”. It works very good for me as it helps in budgeting effectively, thereby I am able to buy food, pay school fees for my kids, and it is helping my husband to build a permanent house. Now I would encourage all members, especially new TIST members, to plant more trees and keep waiting and they will enjoy fruits of TIST. Moreover, I would call upon the government to help TIST,so that many farmers can begin taking action in planting and conserving trees and our environment.
Mary Wanza: How the TIST Program motivated me to earn more income from sale of tree seedlings.
Story and interview done by Moses Nduva,TIST Cluster Servant.
I am Mary Wanza from Mukameni Cluster in Machakos county. My Small Group is known as Kyeni Kiseo -TIST number 2022ke846. Before I joined TIST,I had been preparing small tree nursery beds with just a few seedlings, which could earn me just a little amount of money. I wasn’t serious about this because I didn’t expect to earn a lot of money from such a project. When I became a member of the TIST program early last year, I was requested by Mukameni Cluster leaders to supply tree seedlings to their Cluster. I sold all the available seedlings, but they were not enough, forcing them to purchase the remaining seedlings from my neighbour. This challenged me greatly, after which I decided to attend Cluster meetings and learn how to establish tree nurseries using the Best Practices. In the process, I learned how to do a raised seed bed. During the onset of the last year’s short rains in the month of November 2022, I had healthy and strong tree seedlings that I supplied in Mukameni, Iviani, and other TIST Clusters. Before joining TIST, I was not sparing any seedlings for my farm. Now I have learnt to plant some in my own farm. I am also training more farmers in nursery management. The market is huge. I am grateful that I have got this business opportunity through TIST.
Nturukuma TIST Cluster: We Have Seen Positive Transformation in Our Area.
By Joseph Munene, TIST Cluster Servant.
We, Nturukuma TIST Cluster, are thankful for our participation in TIST Program. We are in Laikipia East, Laikipia County and we border Meru County. Before we received TIST in our area, our lands were almost bare with a tree coverage of approximate 25%, despite the area being on close proximity to Mt Kenya forest. There were numerous efforts made by different organizations and Government to curb deforestation and desertification issues. We all appreciate these efforts. However, when TIST came in, it made all the difference. Most organizations do a single day event, such as tree planting, without proper follow-ups.TIST was different. It helped us organize into Small Groups and in Clusters, thereby making our efforts consistent over period of time. TIST was introduced our area in the year 2005. We embraced it and started having numerous Cluster meetings, which acted as a way to sensitize people on the need to do afforestation and reafforestation. Many Small Groups were formed and started planting trees. Since then, the tree coverage has risen toalmost 75%, and the area has turned out to be food basket to the entire Nanyuki town area.This is as result of Conservation Farming which many farmers have now adopted. Further, growing fruit trees has become popular since it’s a source of income and food for the family. Through TIST Best Practices of rotational and servant leadership, our Cluster has been able to produce good leaders. Kujengana has boosted the confidence inour leaders and members.TIST has become popular in this area, attracting many people, and leading to expansion in nearby areas through multiplication. NkandoN Cluster has been started and growing. We are grateful to the program for many benefits in the region and hope to spread these benefits to other regions.
Martin Njoroge: How I have benefited from TIST.
Story and interview done by Virginia Wairima,TIST Cluster Servant
I am member of Small Group 2005KE1293. Our Small Group name is Sindolofrom Gaturiri TIST Cluster. I joined TIST in 2005. Since then, I cannot regret joining because I have benefitted in several ways such as receiving trainings with other members,making new friends, acquiring knowledge on different trees species,practicing rotational and servant leadership, and learning how to prepare a tree nursery, among others. Importantly, I have been receiving TIST carbonpre-payment and also Profit Share. Through these payments, I have started a sheep rearing project. I intend to fully fund this project using TIST earnings. I have learned in TIST how I can plant fodder trees that can earn me carbon income and still feed my animals. Since I have just started, all I can say is – Watch this space! I will be back with my success story soon!
Karandi TIST Cluster: TIST is helping us have peace and harmony in our area.
By Rahab Mbogo,TIST Cluster Servant.
We live in a volatile Laikipia region where cattle rustling has affected our area recently. Many families have lost their animals, as different communities fight over scarce water and grazing lands. However, within our Karandi Cluster region, through Cluster meetings, we have been able to bring different ethnic communities together. At the Cluster meetings, we discuss issues together and make resolutions to maintain peace and harmony. During our recent Cluster meeting, our members discussed intensively about the security situation in our area. We reviewed TIST trainings and realized Climate Change is real. The current severe drought that is pushing communities to fight is as a result of global warming phenomena.The way to avoid it is not to fight over resources, but to find ways to conserve and preserve those resources and using them sustainably. We vowed to be part of the solution to this problem. We agreed to start tree nurseries at individual, Small Group and at Cluster level. We aim to produce enough seedlings that will also benefit the grazing communities. We have observed grazing areas with trees are able to keep grass alive for a longer period of time. Grazing areas without trees receive scorching sun that burns the grass and when strong winds come, everything is blown away leaving the ground bare. We also realized that most pastoral areas receive torrential rains that cause huge flooding. These floods cause massive soil erosion, thereby resulting in terrible land degradation. Our goal is to encourage pastoral communities to embrace tree planting. This will help nurture their grazing lands and conserve their grass for longer period of time – enough to feed their animals till next rains. On our end, we reminded each other to continue practicing Conservation Farming, and keep on preparing compost manure. We also agreed to continue embracing energy saving jikos as away of preserving our trees and also our health.
Joseph Maina: My story with TIST.
Story and interview done by David Wambugu Wiyumiririe Cluster Servant.
I am Joseph Maina Wandurua of Wiyumiririe Cluster, a Small Group No. 2008Ke889. I came to know about TIST when I attended a chief’s Baraza where a man named Gachoya was given a chance to speak and there he introduced about TIST in 2008. From there I followed him to know more about it until we formed a group, though many people were worried that the land would go with wazungu but later were taught that trees purify the environment so they started joining one by one. I planted trees of different species which I keep till now and they have helped me in many different ways like source of firewood through pruning and thinning, getting payment for carbon credit. I have attended several seminars in Meru at Gitoro Conference Center. I have learned how to make energy saving jikos with mud. I have helped build so many in my Cluster. I have benefitted with Conservation Farming, tree nursery, kitchen garden, beehives, and have learnt how to manage diabetes, blood pressure, and also have a balanced diet in order to maintain good health.This is why I never miss Cluster meetings. Cluster meetings are perfect platforms to develop ourselves in other areas of our lives. We have organized ourselves to start other projects like buying water tanks, mattresses, thermoses, and many more. Since it is the only program in the area cleaning the environment and have many teachings as stated above. The other thing is that I would like to encourage all members to have co-benefits since they add to the value of our Carbon Credit payments. I would therefore urge all to join the program, as it’s a way of poverty eradication and will uplift the living standards. I love TIST, I love its taste, I live in TIST and I rely on TIST all my life.
Jurswinnie Nkirote: A young Cluster Servant with Amazing Passion to serve Farmers.
I am JurswinnieNkirote from Meru County. I joined TIST in year 2020. My Small Group is Wakulima, TIST Number 2021KE1161. We proposed to name our Small Group Wakulima( Swahili for Farmers) with my other Small Group members because we all love farming. However, upon joined TIST, we learning farming is not just growing crops and keeping animals. We learnt trees are beneficial in supporting our crop and animal farming. Before TIST, we had few trees in our farms. Actually, we had erroneously thought trees could harm our crops, so we avoided having trees in our crop lands. TIST helped us overcome this ignorance. At the Cluster meetings we got opportunity to talk to other farmers and visit their farms. We were surprised to see that trees indeed provide shade, humus and preserve soil moisture necessary for crop growing. We became regular attendees of Cluster meetings. We realized there is a lot to learn and share at the meetings. It is during one of the Cluster meetings that an opportunity to serve farmers was announced. I volunteered myself to be trained a Cluster Servant. I began my Cluster Servant trainings towards the end of year 2021. Mary Gitonga was my trainer. I was tested and qualified in 2022 and started serving three (3) Clusters namely; Kiija, Nkandone, Marimba andKiriene. Through my Quantification and training work, I helped TIST expand to new villages. I helped start Abogeta and Gateigoki Clusters. Each day, I am getting requests from different villages to establish new Clusters. At my young age, I have grown into a responsible and humble servant.TIST has helped me develop leadership skills. I have gained a lot of confidence. I never though I could address elderly people in my village. I now do it with a lot ease. People in my Clusters hold me highly. They even seek advice from me in other spheres of life. I am proud serving TIST Farmers. Besides getting job as a Cluster Servant, I continue to benefit from activities I am doing at my farm.TIST is a Blessing in my Life.

Hadithi na mahojiano yaliyofanywa na David Wambugu Wiyumiririe Cluster Servant.
J ina langu ni Julia Wangui Mathara, Mkulima wa TIST na mwanachama wa Kikundi Kidogo cha Caanan, nambari ya TIST 2008Ke517, Nguzo ya Suguroi ndani ya eneo laWiyumiririe, Kaunti ya Laikipia. Katika mwaka wa 2008,TIST ilipanuka hadi eneo langu kupitia juhudi za TIST Social Entrepreneurship (TSE). Jinarris Gachoya kutoka Lamuria alikuwa Kiongozi wa Timu. Miongoni mwa watu wa kwanza kupokea TIST alikuwa Daniel Ndumia. Daniel alihama kutoka nyumbani hadi nyumbani akizungumza kuhusu TIST kwa kila mtu kijijini. Baadaye nilianza kuhudhuria Mikutano ya Nguzo ambapo nilijifunza zaidi kuihusu. Tuliunda Kikundi Kidogo na kukiita Kanani. Tulielimishwa kupanda miti ya kila aina isipokuwa mikaratusi, kwa sababu inadhuru maeneo ya mazao, na sio kukata miti iliyopo tayari, kwani ingesaidia sana mazingira yetu. Pia tulifundishwa kuhusu mikutano ya kila wiki ya Kikundi Kidogo. Hili lilitusaidia kufanya kazi pamoja na kusaidiana. Tulianza kuanzisha vitalu vya miti na kufanya Kilimo Hifadhi. Mbali na mikutano ya Cluster, tumejifunza mengi pia kutoka kwa majarida ya MazingiraBoramonthly. Tumejifunza mambo mengi kama vile jinsi ya kudhibiti afya zetu, kisukari, shinikizo, na pia tumejifunza maadili ya TIST. Tulipoendelea kushiriki katika TIST, ndivyo tulivyojifunza mambo mapya zaidi. Wakati ukadiriaji wa msingi na miti ulifanywa na Patricia na Virginia, tulielewa biashara ya kaboni vyema. Ingawa tulijifunza katika mikutano ya Nguzo, ni pale tu Wakadiriaji wa TIST walipokuja kwa wakulima wetu ndipo tulipothamini na kuelewa somo hili. Katika TIST, nilijifunza njia mpya za kupata pesa kwa kuuza miche kutoka kwenye kitalu changu cha miti. Kuna aina nyingi za aina; Cyprus, Gravellia, Pine, na Casuarina. Pia nimeongeza miche ya matunda yasiyo ya mbao kama vile Nyanya za Miti, Ndizi Tamu, Mateso ya Manjano, na miche ya Purple Passion. Ninafahamu kwamba miche hii isiyo ya mbao haitahesabiwa kwa kaboni, lakini najua ni nzuri kwa lishe. Leo nina miche zaidi ya 2,000. Ninathamini na kutekeleza thamani ya TIST ya “Matokeo ya Juu ya Bajeti ya Chini”. Inafanya kazi nzuri sana kwangu kwani inasaidia katika kupanga bajeti kwa ufanisi, na hivyo ninaweza kununua chakula, kulipa ada ya shule kwa watoto wangu, na inamsaidia mume wangu kujenga nyumba ya kudumu. Sasa ningewahimiza wanachama wote, hasa wanachama wapya wa TIST, kupanda miti zaidi na kuendelea kusubiri na watafurahia matunda ya TIST. Zaidi ya hayo, ningetoa wito kwa serikali kusaidia TIST, ili wakulima wengi waanze kuchukua hatua katika kupanda na kuhifadhi miti na mazingira yetu.
Mary Wanza: Jinsi Mpango wa TIST ulivyonichochea kupata mapato zaidi kutokana na mauzo ya miche ya miti. Hadithi na mahojiano yaliyofanywa na Moses Nduva, Mtumishi wa Klasta wa TIST
M imi ni Mary Wanza kutoka Mukameni Cluster katika kaunti ya Machakos. Kikundi Changu Kidogo kinajulikana kama Kyeni Kiseo -TIST nambari 2022ke846. Kabla sijajiunga na TIST, nilikuwa nikitayarisha vitalu vidogo vya miti na miche michache tu, ambayo inaweza kuniingizia kiasi kidogo cha pesa. Sikuwa makini kuhusu hili kwa sababu sikutarajia kupata pesa nyingi kutokana na mradi kama huo. Nilipokuwa mwanachama wa mpango wa TIST mapema mwaka jana, niliombwa na viongozi wa Nguzo ya Mukameni kusambaza miche ya miti kwa Nguzo yao. Niliuza miche yote iliyopatikana, lakini haikutosha, hivyo nikawalazimu kununua miche iliyobaki kutoka kwa jirani yangu. Hili lilinipa changamoto kubwa, baada ya hapo niliamua kuhudhuria mikutano ya Nguzo na kujifunza jinsi ya kuanzisha vitalu vya miti kwa kutumia Mbinu Bora. Katika mchakato huo, nilijifunza jinsi ya kufanya kitanda cha mbegu kilichoinuliwa. Wakati wa mwanzo wa mvua fupi za mwaka jana katika mwezi wa Novemba 2022, nilikuwa na miche ya miti yenye afya na imara ambayo nilisambaza katika Makameni, Iviani, na Vikundi vingine vya TIST. Kabla ya kujiunga na TIST, sikuwa nikiacha miche yoyote kwa shamba langu. Sasa nimejifunza kupanda mimea katika shamba langu mwenyewe. Pia ninafundisha wakulima zaidi katika usimamizi wa kitalu. Soko ni kubwa. Ninashukuru kwamba nimepata fursa hii ya biashara kupitia TIST.
Nturukuma TIST Cluster: Tumeona Mabadiliko Chanya katika Eneo Letu. Na Joseph Munene, Mtumishi wa Nguzo ya TIST.
S isi, Nturukuma TIST Cluster, tunashukuru kwa ushiriki wetu katika Mpango wa TIST. Tuko Laikipia Mashariki, Kaunti ya Laikipia na tunapakana na Kaunti ya Meru. Kabla ya kupokea TIST katika eneo letu, ardhi yetu ilikuwa karibu tupu na miti iliyofunikwa kwa takriban 25%, licha ya eneo hilo kuwa karibu na msitu wa Mlima Kenya. Kulikuwa na jitihada nyingi zilizofanywa na mashirika mbalimbali na Serikali ili kukabiliana na ukataji miti na masuala ya kuenea kwa jangwa. Sote tunathamini juhudi hizi. Hata hivyo, TIST ilipoingia, ilifanya mabadiliko yote. Mashirika mengi hufanya tukio la siku moja, kama vile kupanda miti, bila ufuatiliaji ufaao. TIST ilikuwa tofauti. Ilitusaidia kujipanga katika Vikundi Vidogo na Vikundi, na hivyo kufanya jitihada zetu zifanane kwa muda. TIST ilianzishwa eneo letu mwaka wa 2005. Tuliikumbatia na kuanza kuwa na mikutano mingi ya Nguzo, ambayo ilifanya kama njia ya kuhamasisha watu juu ya haja ya kupanda miti na upandaji miti upya. Vikundi Vidogo vingi viliundwa na kuanza kupanda miti. Tangu wakati huo, wingi wa miti umeongezeka kwa takriban 75%, na eneo hilo limegeuka kuwa kikapu cha chakula katika eneo lote la mji wa Nanyuki. Hii ni kutokana na Kilimo Hifadhi ambacho wakulima wengi sasa wamekikubali. Zaidi ya hayo, kupanda miti ya matunda imekuwa maarufu kwa vile ni chanzo cha mapato na chakula kwa familia. Kupitia Mbinu Bora za TIST za uongozi wa mzunguko na watumishi, Nguzo yetu imeweza kuzalisha viongozi wazuri. Kujengana kumeongeza imani kwa viongozi na wanachama wetu.TIST imekuwa maarufu katika eneo hili, na kuvutia watu wengi, na kusababisha upanuzi katika maeneo ya karibu kupitia kuzidisha. Nguzo ya NkandoN imeanzishwa na kukua. Tunashukuru kwa mpango huu kwa manufaa mengi katika eneo hili na tunatumai kueneza manufaa haya katika mikoa mingine.
Martin Njoroge: Jinsi nilivyonufaika na TIST.
M imi ni mwanachama wa Kikundi Kidogo 2005KE1293. Kikundi chetu Kidogo jina ni Sindolokutoka Gaturiri TIST Cluster. Nilijiunga na TIST mwaka wa 2005. Tangu wakati huo, siwezi kujutia kujiunga kwa sababu nimefaidika kwa njia kadhaa kama vile kupokea mafunzo na wanachama wengine, kupata marafiki wapya, kupata ujuzi juu ya aina mbalimbali za miti, kufanya mazoezi ya uongozi wa mzunguko na watumishi, na kujifunza jinsi ya kuandaa kitalu cha miti, miongoni mwa mengine. Muhimu zaidi, nimekuwa nikipokea malipo ya awali ya kaboni ya TIST na pia Hisa ya Faida. Kupitia malipo haya, nimeanzisha mradi wa ufugaji wa kondoo. Ninakusudia kufadhili mradi huu kikamilifu kwa kutumia mapato ya TIST. Nimejifunza katika TIST jinsi ninaweza kupanda miti ya malisho ambayo inaweza kuniingizia mapato ya kaboni na bado kulisha wanyama wangu. Kwa kuwa nimeanza hivi punde, ninachoweza kusema ni - Tazama nafasi hii! Nitarudi na hadithi yangu ya mafanikio hivi karibuni!
Kundi la TIST la Karandi: TIST inatusaidia kuwa na amani na utangamano katika eneo letu.
Na Rahab Mbogo, Mtumishi wa Nguzo wa TIST.
T unaishi katika eneo lenye hali tete la Laikipia ambapo wizi wa mifugo umeathiri eneo letu hivi majuzi. Familia nyingi zimepoteza mifugo yao, huku jamii tofauti zikipigania uhaba wa maji na maeneo ya malisho. Hata hivyo, ndani ya eneo letu la Nguzo la Karandi, kupitia mikutano ya Nguzo, tumeweza kuleta jumuiya za makabila mbalimbali pamoja. Katika mikutano ya Nguzo, tunajadili masuala pamoja na kufanya maazimio ili kudumisha amani na utangamano. Wakati wa mkutano wetu wa hivi majuzi wa Nguzo, wanachama wetu walijadili kwa kina kuhusu hali ya usalama katika eneo letu. Tulikagua mafunzo ya TIST na tukagundua Mabadiliko ya Tabianchi ni ya kweli. Ukame mkali wa sasa ambao unasukuma jamii kupigana ni matokeo ya hali ya joto duniani. Njia ya kuepuka sio kupigania rasilimali, bali kutafuta njia za kuhifadhi na kuhifadhi rasilimali hizo na kuzitumia kwa uendelevu. Tuliapa kuwa sehemu ya suluhisho la tatizo hili. Tulikubaliana kuanzisha vitalu vya miti kwa mtu binafsi, Kikundi Kidogo na katika ngazi ya Nguzo. Tunalenga kuzalisha miche ya kutosha ambayo pia itanufaisha jamii za malisho. Tumeona maeneo ya malisho yenye miti yana uwezo wa kuweka nyasi hai kwa muda mrefu zaidi. Maeneo ya malisho yasiyo na miti hupokea jua kali ambalo huchoma nyasi na upepo mkali unapokuja, kila kitu hupeperushwa na kuacha ardhi tupu. Pia tuligundua kuwa maeneo mengi ya wafugaji hupata mvua kubwa zinazosababisha mafuriko makubwa. Mafuriko haya husababisha mmomonyoko mkubwa wa udongo, na hivyo kusababisha uharibifu wa kutisha wa ardhi. Lengo letu ni kuhimiza jamii za wafugaji kukumbatia upandaji miti. Hii itasaidia kukuza malisho yao na kuhifadhi nyasi zao kwa muda mrefu zaidi - wa kutosha kulisha mifugo yao hadi mvua inayofuata. Kwa upande wetu, tulikumbushana kuendelea kufanya Kilimo Hifadhi, na kuendelea kuandaa mbolea ya samadi. Pia tulikubali kuendelea kukumbatia jiko za kuokoa nishati kama mbali na kuhifadhi miti yetu na pia afya zetu.
Joseph Maina: Hadithi yangu na TIST. Hadithi na mahojiano yaliyofanywa na David Wambugu Wiyumiririe Cluster Servant
M imi ni Joseph Maina Wandurua wa Wiyumiririe Cluster, Kikundi Kidogo Na. 2008Ke889. Nilikuja kujua kuhusu TIST nilipohudhuria Baraza la chifu ambapo mwanamume anayeitwa Gachoya alipewa nafasi ya kuzungumza na hapo akaanzisha kuhusu TIST mwaka wa 2008. Kuanzia hapo nilimfuata kujua zaidi hadi tukaunda kikundi, japo watu wengi walikuwa na wasiwasi kwamba ardhi itaenda na wazungu lakini baadaye walifundishwa kuwa miti husafisha mazingira hivyo wakaanza kuungana mmoja baada ya mwingine. Nilipanda miti ya aina mbalimbali ambayo ninaihifadhi hadi sasa na imenisaidia kwa njia nyingi tofauti kama vile chanzo cha kuni kupitia kupogoa na kupunguza, kupata malipo ya mkopo wa kaboni. Nimehudhuria semina kadhaa huko Meru katika Kituo cha Mikutano cha Gitoro. Nimejifunza jinsi ya kutengeneza jiko za kuokoa nishati kwa matope. Nimesaidia kujenga nyingi kwenye Nguzo yangu. Nimefaidika na Kilimo Hifadhi, kitalu cha miti, bustani ya jiko, mizinga ya nyuki, na nimejifunza jinsi ya kudhibiti ugonjwa wa kisukari, shinikizo la damu, na pia kuwa na lishe bora ili kudumisha afya njema. Hii ndiyo sababu siwahi kukosa mikutano ya Nguzo. Mikutano ya vikundi ni mifumo bora ya kujiendeleza katika maeneo mengine ya maisha yetu. Tumejipanga kuanzisha miradi mingine kama vile kununua matangi ya maji, magodoro, thermoses, na mengine mengi. Kwa kuwa ni programu pekee katika eneo hilo kusafisha mazingira na kuwa na mafundisho mengi kama ilivyoelezwa hapo juu. Jambo lingine ni kwamba ningependa kuwahimiza wanachama wote wawe na mafao ya pamoja kwa vile wanaongeza thamani ya malipo yetu ya Carbon Credit. Kwa hivyo ningewahimiza wote kujiunga na mpango huo, kwani ni njia ya kutokomeza umaskini na itainua viwango vya maisha. Naipenda TIST, napenda ladha yake, ninaishi TIST na ninategemea TIST maisha yangu yote.

Tulipendekeza kukipa Kikundi chetu Kidogo Wakulima( Swahili for Farmers) pamoja na wanachama wangu wengine wa Kikundi Kidogo kwa sababu sote tunapenda kilimo. Hata hivyo, tulipojiunga na TIST, tunajifunza ukulima sio tu kupanda mazao na kufuga wanyama. Tulijifunza miti ina manufaa katika kusaidia kilimo chetu cha mazao na wanyama. Kabla ya TIST, tulikuwa na miti michache katika mashamba yetu. Kwa kweli, tulifikiri kimakosa kwamba miti inaweza kudhuru mimea yetu, kwa hiyo tuliepuka kuwa na miti katika mashamba yetu ya mazao. TIST ilitusaidia kushinda ujinga huu. Katika mikutano ya Nguzo tulipata fursa ya kuzungumza na wakulima wengine na kutembelea mashamba yao. Tulishangaa kuona kwamba miti kweli hutoa kivuli, humus na kuhifadhi unyevu wa udongo muhimu kwa ukuaji wa mazao. Tukawa wahudhuriaji wa kawaida wa mikutano ya Cluster. Tulitambua kwamba kuna mengi ya kujifunza na kushiriki kwenye mikutano. Ni wakati wa moja ya mikutano ya Nguzo ambapo fursa ya kuwahudumia wakulima ilitangazwa. Nilijitolea kufundishwa Mtumishi wa Nguzo. Nilianza mafunzo yangu ya Cluster Servant kuelekea mwisho wa mwaka wa 2021. Mary Gitonga alikuwa mkufunzi wangu. Nilijaribiwa na kufuzu mwaka 2022 na kuanza kutumikia Nguzo tatu (3) ambazo ni; KiijaNkandone, Marimba naKiriene. Kupitia kazi yangu ya Ukadiriaji na mafunzo, nilisaidia TIST kupanua hadi vijiji vipya. Nilisaidia kuanzisha Nguzo za Abogeta na Gateigoki. Kila siku, ninapata maombi kutoka kwa vijiji mbalimbali ili kuanzisha Nguzo mpya. Katika umri wangu mdogo, nimekua na kuwa mtumishi anayewajibika na mnyenyekevu.TIST imenisaidia kukuza ujuzi wa uongozi. Nimepata kujiamini sana. Ingawa sikuweza kuwahutubia wazee katika kijiji changu. Sasa ninaifanya kwa urahisi sana. Watu katika Vikundi vyangu wananishikilia sana. Wanatafuta hata ushauri kutoka kwangu katika nyanja zingine za maisha. Ninajivunia kuwahudumia Wakulima wa TIST. Kando na kupata kazi kama Mtumishi wa Nguzo, ninaendelea kufaidika na shughuli ninazofanya katika shamba langu. TIST ni Baraka katika Maisha yangu.

Ngewa yikitwe ni muthukumi wa ngwatanio ya Wiyumiririre ya David Wangugu.
I syitwa yakwa ni Julia Wangui Mathara, muimi wa TIST na memba wa kakundi kanini ka Canaan,TIST namba 2008Ke517, ngwatanio ya Suguroi ila yi kisioni kya Wiyumiririe, Laikipia County. Kwi mwaka wa 2008, TIST niyathathaie na kuvika kisioni kwa nzia ya vitii wa TIST Social Enterpreneurship (TSE), Jinarris Gachoya kuma kikundini kya Lamuria niwe watongoeshe. Kati wa andu mambee kukwata TIST ni Daniel Ndumia. Daniel niwaumie musyi kwake na ambiia uthi musyi kuthi ula ungi ndua nima ayielesya iulu wa TIST. Itina nimambiie mbumbano ila syatumie nimatha muno iulu wa TIST. Nitwaseuvisye kakundi natwaketa Caanan. Nitwamanyiiw’e iulu wa mithemba ya miti ateo musanduku nundu niwanangaa na kumya isio sya nima, nitwaeleiw’e vaita wa kulea kutema miti ila yu yivo na vaita wayo wa mawithyululuko. Nitwamanyiiw’e iulu wa mbumbano sya kila kyumwa. Kii kyatutethisye kuthukuma vamwe na kutethania. Nitwambiie kuseuvya ivuio na kwika nima ya kusuvia. kwongeleela mbumbano ni tweemanyiisye muno kwisila ithanguni ya Mazingira Bora ya kila mwai. Nitwamanyie maundu ta undu wa kwikala thayu wina uima museo wa mwii na undu tutonya kwikala ona twina uwau wa sukali, kwambatwa ni nthakame na maundu angi maseo ma TIST. Oundu tuendee na kwikony’a na TIST niw’o tuendee na umanyana kwimanyisya maundu meu. Yila kuthianwa na kuvitukithw’a kwa miti kweekiwe ni Patricia na Virginia nitwakwatie kuelewa nesa iulu wa viasala wa nzeve itavisaa. Onakau nitwamanyiitw’e nthini wa mbumbano sya ngwatanio sya kila mwai, no yila athukumi ma uthiana ma TIST mookie kwitu aimi nivo twaeleiwe na twamanya undu uu nesa. Nthini wa TIST, ninimayite nzia nzau sya useuvya mbesa kuma kuta miti ya uvanda kuma kivuioni. Ve mivai mingi ya mbeu yamiti ta Cypres, Gravellia, Pine na Casuarina. Ingi ninongeleele miti ite na mithamba ila itatalikaa kwa nzeve itavisaa ta Inyanya, maiu ma kasukali, Makundi ma yello na makundi ma kikamba. Ninisi miti ila itena mithamba nitalikaa kwa nzeve itavisaa indi nundu niliu museo kwa mwii. Umunthi nina mbeu ya miti mbee wa 2,000. Ninamuve kwa mawiko ma TIST na walany’o woo wa “mbangyeti yithinthi na vaita wi yiulu” (Low Budget High results). Ni undu uthukumaa nesa kwakwa nudnu nindetheeasya kuua liu, kuivia syana viisi wa sukulu, na niendee kutuma nitetheesya muume wakwa kwaka nyuma ya kwikala. Yu nindonya uthuthya amemba onthe munamuno ala ma TIST kuendeea uvanda miti na kwikala meteele na nikutania moseo na matunda ma TIST. Ingi nonikulye silikali kutetheesya TIST, nikana aimi aingi makambiia kwosa itambya ya kuvanda miti na kusuvia miti na mwawithyululuko.
Mary Wanza: Undu walany’o wa TIST uthuthitwe kuseovya ukwati kwa kuta miti ya uvanda. Ngewa yikitwe ni Moses Nduva, Muthukumi wa ngwatanio ya TIST.

Ingi nitunoonie kana isioni sya ndithya syithiawa na mbua mbingi ya ivinda inini. Mbua ino nikuaa muthanga mwingi na kwoou muthanga kuendeea kwosa. mwolooto witu nikuthuthya mbai itanie na syitikilane na uvandi wa miti. kii kitetheesya kusuvia isio sya ndithya na kwikalya nyeki kwa ivinda iasa na kwoou indo kwithiwa na liu wa kwiana kuvika mbua ingi. Ngaliko yitu, twililikania kila umwe kuendeea kwika nima ya kusuvia (CF) na kuseuvya vuu wa yiima. Ingi nitukwitikilana na kuendeea na walanio wa maiko ma kusuvia mwaki nikana kusuvia miti na uima witu wa mwii.
