TIST Uganda Mark 20th Year Anniversary – Kenyan Team sent representatives to the celebrations.

T IST program was founded in 1999 in Mpwapwa Tanzania by regional farmers and Ben and Vannesa Henneke as a result of their missionary work. In 2003 9 farmers from Uganda were invited to a TIST "come and see" seminar in Morogoro, Tanzania.When they went back home, they began spreading TIST and helping farmers organize themselves into TIST Small Groups. Since then, the program began to spread and gained acceptance among many farmers especially in South Western Uganda. Later in 2016, thanks to Freshfields ( a large UK lawfirm) the program expanded to the Northern Uganda. Today, TIST Uganda has more than 56,000 farmers organized into more than 9,000 TIST Small Groups.They have planted and kept alive more than 10,000,000 trees.And still growing! On 21st July 2023,TIST Uganda held a major and colourful celebrations to mark 20 years of service to farmers in Uganda.The event was held in Gulu town, Northern Uganda. Many guests,TIST Farmers, potential farmers and TIST Global leaders graced the occasion. Kenya Team sent 17 representatives. The Team made historic travel arrangements where their journey from Kenya to Gulu involved visiting and meeting TIST farmers along the way. During these visits, farmers got a chance to ask questions and the delegation got an opportunity to learn from the farmers especially their Best Practices. This Team also had Ben and Vannesa Henneke and Kate Whitehead all from United State of America (USA). Their journey began on Tuesday, 11th July, 2023. On this day, this delegation visited farmers in Mweiga Cluster, then proceeded to meet Farmers at Wiyumiririe. Later in the evening they visited farmers around Mairoine Cluster and closed the day by visiting farmers in Karandi Cluster in Laikipia West.They spent the night in Nyahururu town. The following day, Wednesday, they proceeded to Transnzoia County and met farmers at Kapsitewet Cluster, Kwanza Constituency. They later on spent the night at the outskirt of Bungoma town. On Thursday 13th July, 2023 they crossed the border and travelled all the way to Soroti town

in Uganda. The following day, Friday, they visited farmers around Soroti area and later in the evening attended Tubur- Ogolai Cluster and had a large Cluster meeting. On same day, they proceeded with the journey to Lira town. On Saturday, the team split up. One Team proceeded to meet regional Cluster Leaders at the seminar in Gulu town.The other team visited farmers around Lira areas but later in the evening travelled to Gulu. On Sunday, many of the members in the delegation attended church service in nearby church from the hotel we were staying. On Monday, 17th July, 2023, the team held a debrief and review meeting.The following day, they joined "Come and See" seminar held at Watoto Church Ground in Gulu. On Wednesday, the Team travelled further North to Amuru district where they visited several Small Groups and later attended a Cluster meeting at Agwayugi TIST Cluster. On Thursday, the delegation joined "come and See" participants for a field visit within Gulu district. Friday 21st July 2023 culminated with the very colourful 20th year celebrations.The event was held at Watoto Church Grounds in Gulu town. It was graced by among others, hundreds of Small Groups members from all over TIST Uganda, Cluster Servants, pioneer TIST Leaders including US Team and special invited guests. On Saturday, most of the people at the celebrations began their departure home. TIST - We Are. We Are - TIST!

TIST: Greenhouse Gas Business.

G rowing trees absorb carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases, which captures the suns radiant heat inside the Earth’s atmosphere helping to maintain the temperature of the Earth surface. The Earth is getting hotter and hotter which can be very damaging. This is called the Greenhouse Effect, which causes some areas of the world to experience more flooding, more drought or desertification. The burning of fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas and the cutting down of trees produces carbon dioxide. Because growing trees absorb carbon dioxide, they help reduce the Greenhouse Effect. Governments and large Industries in many countries want to reduce their emission of carbon dioxide so that the Earth does not heat up as much. They have signed many different agreements including the Paris Accords which have every government in the world involved. TIST Quantifiers count and measure the trees we plant so that CAAC can work out how much carbon dioxide the trees absorb. The unit of measurement is equal to one tonne of carbon dioxide absorbed and sequestered in the living tree. In order to make a ‘carbon credit’ the TIST program must be “Validated” by an outside 3rd party to assure that all international requirements are met. Then the amount of CO2 sequestered by the TIST trees is “Verified” to be accurate. Companies and Governments can then buy those ‘carbon credits meaning they can pay for TIST trees to reduce their carbon dioxide emissions for them. We must have honest and accurate data on trees to sell these credits to a buyer. The carbon credit money can help groups to be even more productive, effective and start new projects. TIST groups get paid an advance of $20 for each 1000 trees each year (roughly 2.00 kshs per live tree per year). When the carbon is sold, the TIST farmers will receive 70% of the profits. In addition to the greenhouse gas payments, the TIST farmers get co- benefits from other TIST activities. TIST Farmers - lets plant more trees! Together we achieve greater benefits.

TIST Farmers Combat Global Warming and Climate Change.

T IST farmers have responded to a global call to combat global warming and climate change. Many farmers have sought understanding through TIST seminars/trainings and at cluster meetings to learn and understand more about global warming, its effect on the climate, and mitigation approaches. We see many impacts of climate change today. Just to illustrate a few instances of impacts - floods, droughts and typhoons are more intense. Other notable illustrations are the gradual wearing off the glaciers at the peak of Mt. Kenya, unpredictable weather patterns that have resulted in crop failures in many areas, drying of water springs and water catchments areas, among many others. This months newsletter will share training notes from seminars so that we all can understand global warming and climate change better. We will begin by defining each term and explaining it further and then learn how your trees play a significant role in mitigating the effects of global warming. What is Global Warming? Global warming refers to an average increase in the Earths temperature, which in turn causes changes in climate. A warmer Earth will lead to changes in rainfall patterns, stronger storms, a rise in sea level, crop failures, and a wide range of impacts on plants, wildlife, and humans.When scientists talk about the issue of climate change, their concern is about global warming caused by human activities and the extremes of climate and weather variability this brings about. Is the Earth getting warmer? Yes! The Earth has warmed by about 1ºC over the past 100 years. Over 95% of the worlds leading climate scientists say that things people do are making the Earth warmer, such as burning of fossil fuels including coal, petrol, and natural gas, and cutting forest and managing land poorly. What is the Greenhouse Effect? The greenhouse effect is the rise in temperature

that the Earth experiences because certain gases in the atmosphere, called greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide, and methane trap energy from the sun. Major sources of carbon are deforestation, gases emitted from industries, gases emitted from motor vehicles, gases emitted from burn of wood fuel or charcoal and burning of forests. What are the dangers of Global Warming?

 • Severe water stress in the arid and semiarid land areas would result in more areas becoming desert. 

• Increased spread of diseases like malaria. As areas become warmer, they become suitable breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and increasing risks of malaria infection. Many families and health institutions can be impacted, average life spans decline, and infant mortality rates rise. 

• Decreased agricultural production in many tropical and subtropical countries, especially countries in East Africa. Due to decreased rainfall and increased breeding of pests due to increased warming, the production of food crops may decrease and this results in poverty and hunger among many families and communities.

 • Higher worldwide food prices. As more farmers get less yields and food supplies become scarce, the prices increase because the demand is high and supply is low.

 • Major changes in the productivity and composition of critical ecological systems particularly forests. Water catchment areas in the mountains and forests continue to dry up. This will affect the ability to irrigate crops and will reduce stream flows necessary to keep dams and reservoirs replenished.This will reduce generation of hydroelectric power. Our industries, hospitals and other institutions that heavily rely on electricity will be severely affected.The supply of piped water to urban areas as well as rural homes will also be affected.

Tens of millions of people at risk from flooding and landslides, driven by projected increases in rainfall intensity and in coastal areas, rising sea levels.

How can I prevent Global Warming? “I’m a farmer. I can grow crops and I can absorb carbon. I can sell my crops and I can sell my carbon.” Plant and care for trees!

Plant and care for trees!

As mentioned above, carbon dioxide is the major cause global warming. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store it in the wood, roots and soil as cellulose carbon. However, when trees are cut and burned, they release most of the carbon they had stored back to the air. Did you know each tree could create a microclimate? Trees and their cover cool the surface of the earth. Feel the comfort of the shade of a tree. Notice that the soil below is moister than where the sun bakes it with no shade. When the ground stays cooler, the ground holds more moisture longer. This means that trees on your land will help improve the amount of water in your soil, and help retain it for a longer time. This will help your crops and also even help the water users in your area. What are carbon credits? To make a TIST carbon credit requires 3 things: 1) A real and additional reduction in the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air; 2) A promise to keep the carbon out of the air for many years (usually 30); 3) A Verification by an independent third party that certifies that the actions have taken place according to all the rules, and the amounts of tonnes sequestered are accurate. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis and store it in the wood, roots and soil. The amount of carbon taken from the air and stored can be measured and calculated, and then, when verified as accurate, this absorption of carbon

dioxide can be sold on the world market as carbon credits. Buyers can purchase these credits to offset their carbon dioxide emissions. TIST is able to sell the carbon absorbed in trees just like producers sell sugar and milk.With carbon, however, you dont ship the tree to the market. Instead, the value is from the carbon taken out of the air, kept in the tree on your farm or forest, measured and reported. The trading of carbon credits can be done through electronic exchanges, or it can be arranged between people or companies directly. We have to meet the market rules and requirements. We cannot clear forest or cut trees to plant trees since this is bad for the environment. We have to commit to keep trees in a grove growing for the long-term, 30 years or more. We have to report data accurately. Once trees are planted, some measurements and calculations are made to measure the amount of carbon TIST farmers trees have absorbed. Note again, trees are never actually taken to the markets.They remain in the shambas and the longer they stay alive, the longer the period of receiving payments. So, the farmer keeps the trees, the fodder, the firewood, and the fruits and the nuts.The money that TIST makes selling carbon offsets creates a new source of income and is then shared with TIST Small Groups and used to support the costs of TIST, including training, quantification, and management. Do all trees absorb the same amount of carbon? No, trees with wider circumference (more biomass) store more carbon that trees that are thin. Taller trees also absorb more carbon than short trees. Therefore, trees that are thick will bring more income from carbon credits. This means trees planted with good spacing have a chance of growing big and tall and earn more carbon income. They do not compete for soil nutrients and water as much as trees that are closely spaced. Therefore, in order to receive good payments out of our trees, it is important to plant them in a good enough spacing that will allow them to grow healthy, tall and big. Thinning some of the trees to harvest firewood and keep the other trees growing well is usually the best way to manage your trees

Where/who are the buyers of carbon credits? Currently, carbon credits are sold on voluntary markets and in compliance markets. They may be certified in different ways, just as there are different brands and certifications for other products you buy and sell (like coffee, and organic coffee under different labels). TIST could market its carbon credits on the compliance or the voluntary market because they are of high quality. There are many different standards in these markets with different and ever-changing rules about tree planting, monitoring, and reporting that we must meet to sell carbon offsets. We use the highest quality standards for the Validation and Verification — the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards (CCBA)

TIST has two basic types of buyers: The first is made up of people willing to give money to encourage people to plant trees. Examples include paying for tree planting projects to make a wedding or a conference carbon neutral. The second type is made up of companies in the US, Europe, Canada and other industrial countries that are making voluntary commitments to reduce their GhG emissions either because they are good stewards of the environment or they are preparing for future regulatory requirements. TIST is very happy to have good quality carbon credits, and to be able to supply many different customers.

Kujengana: Don’t miss the blessing for your Small Group and Cluster

K ujengana is a very important part of your Small Group weekly meeting. It says in Ephesians 4:15 - 16 that we are to build each other up into the fullness of Christ. Each person in your TIST Small Group brings his or her own special talents and gifts to the entire group. One of the wonderful things that happen in the Small Group is recognizing, sharing and using those God-given talents. Kujengana is a way to let those talents be seen and be used. There are two parts to Kujengana: 

• Before the closing prayer, every person in the group says one specific, positive thing that the leader for that week did at that meeting. For example: they smiled, kept to time, made good plans, encouraged all group members to speak, greeted me and made me feel welcome, pointed out something that was going very well in the meeting or in the work the group was doing, etc. Each member needs to say something different. This is not optional. Everyone gives Kujengana to the servant leader. Some groups also give Kujengana to the co-leader. 

• In addition, if someone sees a gift shown by the leader, a group member can also say that. With Rotating Leadership, each week a new leader will receive Kujengana. Through Kujengana, we encourage each other on the good things that the week’s leader did in the meeting and the talents the person showed. Kujengana is also the way we learn to look for positive things about people and then say them. We all need to train our tongues to say the positive. In addition, the whole group learns what that group thinks is important in a servant leader. The next leaders will benefit from what they have heard in Kujengana about previous leaders and know what the groups think is important in being a servant leader. In response to Kujengana, that week’s servant leader just says, “Thank you” after each group member’s specific, positive statement. There is no discussion about how it could have been done better, or differently. Often, the person is happy when he or she is told the good things he or she did during the meeting. Sometimes we learn things about ourselves we didn’t know! Kujengana helps the leader on that day recognize his or her talents and keeps on using them. Kujengana also helps the Small Group because all the members improve their servant leadership as they learn. Kujengana is a double blessing

TIST Uganda Yaadhimisha Miaka 20 - Timu ya Kenya ilituma wawakilishi kwenye sherehe hizo.

M pango wa TIST ulianzishwa mwaka wa 1999 huko Morogoro Tanzania na Ben Henneke na Vannesa Henneke kama sehemu ya kazi yao ya umishonari. Wakulima wachache kutoka Uganda walikuwa wamealikwa kwenye moja ya semina za TIST nchini Tanzania. Waliporudi nyumbani, walianza kueneza TIST na kuwasaidia wakulima kujipanga katika Vikundi Vidogo vya TIST. Tangu wakati huo, mpango huo ulianza kuenea na kukubalika miongoni mwa wakulima wengi hasa Kusini Magharibi mwa Uganda. Baadaye kwa miaka mingi, programu ilipanuka hadi Kaskazini mwa Uganda. Leo, TIST Uganda ina zaidi ya wakulima 56,000 waliopangwa katika zaidi ya Vikundi 9,000 vidogo vya TIST. Wamepanda na kuhifadhi miti zaidi ya 10,000,000. Na bado inakua! Mnamo tarehe 21 Julai 2023,TIST Uganda ilifanya sherehe kubwa na za kupendeza kuadhimisha miaka 20 ya huduma kwa wakulima nchini Uganda. Hafla hiyo ilifanyika katika mji wa Gulu, Kaskazini mwa Uganda. Wageni wengi, Wakulima wa TIST, wakulima watarajiwa na viongozi wa TIST Global walipamba hafla hiyo. Timu ya Kenya ilituma wawakilishi 17.Timu ilifanya mipango ya kihistoria ya kusafiri ambapo safari yao kutoka Kenya hadi Gulu ilihusisha kutembelea na kukutana na wakulima wa TIST njiani. Katika ziara hizo, wakulima walipata nafasi ya kuuliza maswali na wajumbe walipata fursa ya kujifunza kutoka kwa wakulima hasa Mbinu zao Bora.Timu hii pia ilikuwa na Ben na Vannesa Henneke, Kate Whitehead wote kutoka Jimbo la Amerika (Marekani). Safari yao ilianza Jumanne, 11 Julai, 20223. Siku hii, wajumbe hawa walitembelea wakulima katika Nguzo ya Mweiga, kisha wakaendelea kukutana na Wakulima huko Wiyumiririe. Baadaye jioni alitembelea wakulima karibu na Mairoine Clsuter na kufunga siku kwa kuwatembelea wakulima katika Nguzo ya Karandi huko Laikipia Magharibi. Walilala katika mji wa Nyahururu. Siku iliyofuata, Jumatano, walielekea Kaunti ya Transnzoia na kukutana na wakulima katika Nguzo ya Kapsitewet, Eneobunge la Kwanza. Baadaye walilala nje kidogo ya mji wa Bungoma. Siku ya Alhamisi, Julai 13, 2023 walivuka mpaka na kusafiri hadi mji wa Soroti nchini Uganda. Siku iliyofuata, Ijumaa, walitembelea wakulima karibu na eneo la Soroti na baadaye jioni walihudhuria mkutano wa Nguzo ya Tubur- Ogolai. Siku hiyohiyo, waliendelea na safari ya kuelekea mjini Lira. Siku ya Jumamosi, timu iligawanyika.Timu moja iliendelea kukutana na Viongozi wa Cluster kwenye semina katika mji wa Gulu.Timu nyingine ilitembelea wakulima karibu na maeneo ya Lira lakini baadaye jioni ilisafiri hadi Gulu. Siku ya Jumapili, baadhi ya washiriki katika wajumbe walihudhuria ibada ya kanisa katika kanisa lililo karibu kutoka hoteli tuliyokuwa tukiishi. Mnamo Jumatatu, Julai 17, 2023, timu ilifanya mkutano wa majaribio na mapitio. Siku iliyofuata, walijiunga na semina ya “Njoo Uone” iliyofanyika katika Uwanja wa Kanisa la Watoto huko Gulu. Siku ya Jumatano, Timu ilisafiri zaidi Kaskazini hadi wilaya ya Amru ambako walitembelea Vikundi Vidogo kadhaa na baadaye kuhudhuria mkutano wa Kikundi katika Nguzo ya TIST ya Agwayugi. Siku ya Alhamisi, wajumbe waliungana na washiriki wa “Njoo Uone” kwa uwanja uliotembelewa ndani ya wilaya ya Gulu. Ijumaa tarehe 21 Julai 2023 ilifikia kilele kwa sherehe za kupendeza za miaka 20. Hafla hiyo ilifanyika katika Viwanja vya Kanisa la Watoto katika mji wa Gulu. Ilipambwa na miongoni mwa wengine, mamia ya wanachama wa Vikundi Vidogo kutoka kote nchini TIST Uganda, Watumishi wa Nguzo, Viongozi wa TIST wakiwemo Timu ya Marekani na wageni waalikwa maalum. Siku ya Jumamosi, wengi wa watu kwenye sherehe walianza kuondoka nyumbani. TIST - Sisi Ndivyo Sisi ni - TIST!

TIST: Biashara ya hewa chafu.

M iti inayokua hunyonya gesi ya kaboni kwa njia ya kutengeneza chakula. Kaboni dioksidi ni mojawapo ya ‘gesi chafu’ (greenhouse gases) ambazo huteka joto la jua lililopo katika anga ya dunia na kusaidi kudumisha hali ya joto katika uso wa dunia. Wanasayansi wengine wanafikiri kuwa dunia inazidi kuwa na joto zaidi na zaidi, joto ambalo lweza kuwa lenye kudhuru sana. Jambo hili huitwa athari ya hewa chafu (greenhouse effect), ambayo hufanya maeneo mengine kupanda mafuriko zaidi, ukame zaidi au kuenea kwa janga. Kuchomwa kwa ngataa kama mafuta, makaa yam awe na gesi ya kiasili hutoa kaboni dioksidi. Kwa sababu miti huchukua kaboni dioksidi kutoka hewani, inasaidia kupunguza athari za gesi chafu. Serikali na viwanda vikubwa katika nchi nyingi wanataka kupunguza utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi ili dunia isizidishe joto sana. Maqwantifaya wa TIST huhesabu na kupima miti tunayopanda ili TIST ifanye kazi ya kuhesabu ni kiasi kipi cha kaboni dioksidi kinachonyonywa na miti. Kipimo chake huitwa ‘carbon credit’ (kadi za kaboni) na ni sawa na kunyonya kilo elfu moja za kaboni dioksidi. Makampuni na serikali zaweza kununua kadi hizi kumaanisha wanaweza kulipia miti ili ipunguze utoaji wa kaboni dioksidi. Lazima tuwe na data yenye kuaminika na sahihi kuhusu miti ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni kwa mnunuaji. Pesa kutokana na kuuza kaboni hii zaweza kusaidia vikundi kuzalisha zaidi, kufanya kazi zaidi na kuanza miradi mipya.Vikundi vya TIST hulipwa dolla ishirini kwa kila miti elfu moja iliyo hai kila mwaka (takriban shilingi 1.8 kwa kila mti hulio hai kila mwaka). Malipo ya gesi chafu si faida ya kipekee kikundi kidogo hupata kwa sababu miti ina thamani mara kumi hadi arobaini kuliko pesa inayopata kutokana na biashara ya kaboni. Wakulima wa TIST – tupandeni miti zaidi! Pamoja tufikie faida kubwa zaidi.

Wakulima katika TIST wapambana na ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi.

Wakulima katika TIST wameitikia mwito wa ulimwengu wa kupambana na ongezeko la joto na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi. Wakulima wengi wametafuta kuelewa kupitia semina/mafunzo ya TIST na katika mikutano ya cluster ili kusoma na kuelewa mengi zaidi kuhusu kuongezeka kwa joto, athari zake kwa tabianchi na mbinu za kukabiliana nalo. Tunaona athari za mabadiliko ya tabianchi leo. Ili kuonyesha matukio kadhaa ya athari hizi, mafuriko ya Elnino ya mwaka 1998 yaliyovuruga karibu nchi yote na ukame mrefu uliofuatilia, na upepo mkali wa mwaka 2004 sana sana uliongezewa na ongezeko la joto duniani. Viashiria vingine mashuhuri ni kupunguzika kwa barafu katika kilele cha mlima Kenya, hali ya anga isiyo na utaratibu na ambayo imesababisha kuharibika kwa mazao katika maeneo mengi, kukauka kwa chemichemi na vyanzo vya maji, pamoja na mengine mengi. Jarida la mwezi huu linaangazia mafunzo kutoka semina ili sote tuelewe ongezeko la joto duniani na mabadiliko ya tabianchi. Tutaanza kwa kuelezea kila neon na kulieleza zaidi na pia tujue jinsi miti yako ina jukumu kubwa katika kukabiliana na athari za ongezeko la joto duniani. Ongezeko la joto duniani ni nini? Ongezeko la joto duniani ni ongezeko wastani la joto duniani, ambalo huleta mabadiliko katika tabianchi. Dunia yenye joto zaidi yaweza kusababisha mabadiliko katika mvua, dhoruba kali zaidi, kuongezeka kwa maji baharini, kuharibika kwa mimea, na athari kadhaa kwa mimea, wanyama pori na wanadamu. Wanasayansi wanapoongea kuhusu suara la mabadiliko ya tabianchi na katika hali ya anga, wasi wasi yao huelekezwa kwa ongezeko la joto linalotokana na kazi za binadamu na utofauti katika tabianchi na hali ya anga unaoletwa na jambo hili. Je, joto katika dunia linaongezeka? Ndio! Dunia imeongezeka joto zaidi ya digrii moja katika miaka mia moja iliyopita. Wengi wa wanasayansi wanaoongoza katika dunia hufikiri kuwa shughuli za binadamu hufanyanya dunia kuongezeka joto, kama kuchoma makaa yam awe, petrol na gesi ya kiasilia na kukata misitu na usimamizi mbaya wa ardhi. Greenhouse Effect ni nini? Athari hii ni kuongezeka kwa joto duniani kutakotokana na uwepo wa gesi Fulani katika hewa, zinazoitwa gesi chafu, kama, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulphur dioxide, na methane ambazo hutega nishati kutokana na jua.Vyanzo vikuu vya kaboni ni ukataji wa misitu, gesi kutokana na viwanda, gesi kutokana na magari, gesi kutokana na kuchoma miti au makaa na kuchoma misitu. Hatari za ongezeko la joto duniani ni zipi? § Uhaba wa maji mkali katika maeneo kame au yanayopakana na maeneo kame waweza kusababisha maeneo zaidi kuwa na jangwa. § Ongezeko la kuenea kwa magonjwa kama malaria. Jinsi maeneo yanavokuwa yenye joto zaidi, yanakuwa mwafaka zaidi kama maeneo ya kuzalisha ya mbu, na kuongeza uwezekano wa kupata malaria. Familia na hospitali nyingi zaweza kuathirika, wastani ya miaka ya kuishi kupungua, na ongezeko la vifo vya watoto wadogo. § Kupunguka kwa uzalishaji katika nchi za kitropiki na kisub-tropiki, hasa nchi katika Afrika Mashariki. Kwa sababu ya mvua iliyopunguka na ongezeko la uzalishaji wa wadudu kwa sababu ya joto, uzalishaji wa chakula waweza kupungua na ili husababisha umaskini na njaa katika familia na jamii nyingi. § Gharama zilizoongezeka za chakula katika ulimwengu mzima. Jinsi wakulima wengi watakavyopata mazao chache na chakula kuwa adimu, ndivyo bei ya chakula itakavyoongezeka kwa sababu mahitaji ni mengi na usambazaji ni kidogo. § Mabadiliko makubwa katika uzalishaji na muundo wa mifumo muhimu ya mazingira hasa misitu. Maeneo ya vyanzo vya maji katika milima na misitu huendelea kukauka. Hili litaathiri uwezo wa kumwagilia mazao maji na kupunguza maji katika mikondo ya maji yanayohitajika kujaza mabwawa na hifadhi za maji. Hili litapunguza kutengenezwa kwa umeme. Viwanda, mahospitali na taasisi zinginezo zetu ambazo kwa kiwango kikubwa hutegemea umeme zitaathirika sana. Usambazaji wa maji ya paipu katika maeneo ya mijini nay ale ya vijijini pia utaathirika. KISWAHILI VERSION 5 § Makumi ya mamilioni ya watu watawekwa katika hatari ya mafuriko na maporomoko ya ardhi, yanayoletwa na makadirio ya ongezeko la uzito wa mvua na katika maeneo ya bahari, ongezeko la viwango vya maji. Nawezaje kuzuia ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni? Panda na uichunge miti! Kama ilivyotajwa hapo juu, carbon dioxide ni moja ya gesi zinazoleta ongezeko la joto ulimwenguni. Miti hunyonya gesi hii kutoka kwa hewa inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika mbao, mizizi na udongo kama kaboni selulosi. Hata hivyo, miti inapokatwa na kuchomwa, huachilia kaboni iliyokuwa imeweka. Unajua kuwa ila mti waweza kutengeneza tabianchi ndogo mahali ulipo? Miti na bima yake hupunguza joto lililo katika uso wa dunia. Hisi faraja ya kivuli cha mti. Tambua kwamba udongo ulio chini yake huwa na maji zaidi kulika ya udongo ulio palipo na jua pasipo na kivuli. Udongo unapokaa ukiwa baridi, huwa unaweka maji muda mrefu zaidi. Ili lamaanisha kuwa miti katika ardhi yako itasaidia kuongeza kiasi cha maji katika udongo wako na pia itasaidia kuweka maji udongoni kwa muda mrefu zaidi. Hili litasaidia mimea yako na pia kusaidia watu wanaotumia maji katika eneo lako. Kadi za kaboni ni nini? Ili kutengeneza kadi ya kaboni wahitaji vitu vitatu: 1) Punguzo la kweli na la kuongeza la kaboni dioksidi iliyo katika hewa; 2) Ahadi ya kuweka kaboni hiyo mbali na hewa kwa muda mrefu; 3) Ukaguzi unaofanywa na chama tofauti kinachothibitisha kwamba shughuli zimefanyika kulingana na mujibu wa sheria. Miti hunyonya kaboni dioksidi kutoka kwa hewa wakati inapotengeneza chakula na kuiweka katika mbao, mizizi na udongo. Kiasi cha kaboni kilichochukuliwa kutoka kwa hewa hupimwa na kuhesabiwa, halafu, kinapothibitishwa kuwa sahihi, kaboni hii iliyonyonywa yaweza kuuzwa katika soko la ulimwengu kama kadi za kaboni. Wanunuzi waweza kununua kadi hizi kukabiliana na kaboni wanayoachilia kwa hewa. TIST huweza kuuza kaboni iliyonyonywa na miti kama wazalishaji wanavyouza sukari na maziwa. Hata hivyo, katika kaboni, hauhitaji kutuma mti sokoni. Badalake, thamani ya kaboni iliyotolewa katika hewa na kuwekwa katika miti iliyo shambani au katika msitu wako, hupimwa na kuripotiwa. Biashara ya kadi za kaboni zaweza kufanyika New York, Chicago, London na mijiji mingineyo ulimwenguni, ama pia kupangwa kati ya watu au kampuni mbili moja kwa moja. Lazima tutimize sheria na mahitaji ya soko. Hatuwezi kukata msitu wote au kukata miti ili kupanda miti kwani hili ni baya kwa mazingira. Lazima tujitoe kuweka miti hii katika shamba kwa muda mrefu, thelathini au zaidi. Lazima turipoti data sahihi. Miti inapopandwa, vipimo na hesabu hufanyika ili kupima kiasi cha kaboni iliyonyonywa na miti ya mkulima katika TIST. Kumbuka tena, miti haipelekwi sokoni. Hukaa shambani na jinsi inavyokaa hai, ndivyo malipo yanavyoongezeka. Kwa hivyo, mkulima hukaa na miti, lishe ya mifugo, kuni, matunda na pia karanga. Pesa zinazotengenezwa na TIST katika kuuza kadi za kaboni hujenga chanzo kipya cha mapato na hugawanywa kati ya vikundi vidogo katika TIST na hutumika kusaidia kukidhi gharama za TIST, ambazo ni pamoja na mafunzo, uhesabu miti na usimamizi. Je, Miti yote hunyonya kiasi saw ach kaboni? La, miti iliyo na mzingo mpana huweka kaboni zaidi ya miti iliyo myembamba. Miti mirefu pia hunyonya kaboni zaidi ya miti mifupi. Hivyo basi, miti iliyo mipana huleta mapato zaidi kutokana na kadi za kaboni. Haishindani kupata virutubisho katika udongo na maji kama miti iliyokaribiana. Hivyo basi, ili kupata mapato mazuri kutokana na miti yetu, ni muhimu kuipanda kwa nafasi tosha itakayoiruhusu kukua kiafya, kwa urefu na upana. Kupunguza miti ili kupata kuni na kuiacha miti mingine ikue vizuri huwa njia nzuri zaidi ya kusimamia miti yako. Ni wapi/nani hununua kadi za kaboni? Hivi sasa, kadi za kaboni huuzwa katika masoko ya hiari na katika masoko ya kuhitimu mahitaji. Zaweza kuthibitishwa kwa njia tofauti, kama kulivyo na bidhaa mbalimbali na kuthibitishwa kwa bidhaa zingine unazonunua na kuuza (kama kahawa, kahawa aina mbalimbali).TIST yaweza kuuza kadi zake za KISWAHILI VERSION 6 kaboni katika masoko ya hiari au katika masoko ya kuhitimu mahitaj kwa sababu kadi zake ni za hali ya juui. Kuna viwango mbali mbali katika masoko haya vilivyo na sheria mbali mbali na zinazobadilika kila baada ya muda zinazohusu upandaji wa miti, ufuatiliaji, na kuripoti ambazo tunahitajika kuhitimu ili kuuza kadi hizi za kaboni. Tunatumia viwango vya hali ya juu zaidi katika ukaguzi na kuthibitishwa — the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) na the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance Standards (CCBA). TIST ina wanunuzi wa aina mbili msingi: Aina ya kwanza ni ya watu wanaojitolea kupeana pesa ili kuwapa watu motisha ya kupanda miti. Kwa mfano kulipia miradi ya upandaji wa miti kufanya harusi au semina kuwa kuwa isiyoongeza kaboni katika hewa. Aina ya pili ni ya makampuni yaliyo Amerika, Uropa, Canada na katika nchi zingine zilizokua viwanda zinazojitolea kupunguza gesi chafu zinazotoa kwa sababu mawakala wema wa mazingira au wanajitayarisha kuhitimu mahitaji Fulani ya baadaye. TIST ina furaha sana kuwa na kadi za kaboni za hali ya juu, na kuweza kusambaza kwa wateja mbalimbali. K ujengana ni sehemu muhimu sana ya mkutano wa kila wiki wa kikundi chako. Inasema katika Aefeso 4:15,16 kuwa tujengane hadi tuwe na utimilifu wa Kristu. Kila mtu katika Kikundi chako cha TIST huleta talanta na zawadi zake maalum kikundini. Moja ya vitu vya kuajabisha inayotokea katika kikundi kidogo ni kujua, kugawana na kutumia talanta hizo ulizopewa na Mungu. Kujengana ni njia moja ya kufanya hizo talanta kuonekana na kutumika. Kuna sehemu mbili za Kujengana: • Kabla ya ombi la kufunga, kila mtu katika kikundi aseme kitu kizuri maalum ambacho kiongozi amefanya katika mkutano huo. Kwa mfano, alitabasamu, aliweka masaa, alifanya mipango mizuri, aliwatia nguvu wanakikundi wote kuongea, alinisalimu na alinifanya nijisikie nimekaribishwa, alisema kitu kilichokuwa kinaendelea vizuri katika mkutano ama katika kazi iliyokuwa ikifanywa na kikundi, na kadhalika. Kila mwanakikundi anahitajika kusema kitu tofauti. Hili si la kujichagulia. Kila mtu ajenge kiongozi wa utumishi. Vikundi vingine hujenga hata msaidizi wa kiongozi.

 • Kuongezea, ikiwa mtu ameona zawadi iliyoonyeshwa na kiongozi, mwanakikundi anaweza pia kusema ni zawadi ipi. Kwa kupitia uongozi wa mzunguko, kila wiki kiongozi mpya hujengwa. Kupitia Kujengana, tunatiana nguvu kati yetu kuhusu vitu vizuri alivyofanya kiongozi wa wiki hiyo mkutanoni na talanta alizoonyesha mtu huyo. Kujengana pia ni njia ya kujua kuangalia vitu vizuri kuwahusu watu halafu kuvisema. Sote twahitaji kufunza ndimi zetu kusema yaliyo mazuri. Kuongezea, kikundi chote hujua ni nini kikundi kinafikilia ni muhimu katika kiongozi mtumishi. Viongozi wanaofuata watafaidika kupitia waliyosikia katika Kujengana kuhusu viongozi waliopita na kujua ni nini muhimu katika kuwa kiongozi. Kujibu wakati wa kujengana, kiongozi wa wiki hiyo atasema, “Asante.” baada ya kila mwanakikundi kusema taarifa nzuri iliyo maalum. Hakuna kujadiliana kuhusu vipi kungekuwa kuzuri zaidi ama tofauti. Mara nyingi, mtu huyo hufurahi anapoambiwa kuhusu mambo mazuri aliyofanya wakati wa mkutano. Wakati mwingine, huwa tunajua mambo kujihusu ambayo hatukuwa tunajua! Kujengana husaidia kiongozi wa siku hiyo kujua talanta zake na kuzidi kuzitumia. Kujengana pia husaidia kikundi kidogo kwa sababu wana kikundi wote huboresha uongozi wao wa utumishi wanapozidi kujifunza. Kujengana ni baraka mara mbili!
