LONG LIVE TIST SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM IN UGANDA.
TIST Program has brought hope to the hopeless, been a mother to the motherless, and you have added 100% value to all TIST programs. That is to say in Kirugu Cluster where a child named Ensinikweri Emmanuel, who is a double orphan, was taken as one of the sponsored students by TIST sponsorship scheme and that has spread TIST programs in Kirugu Cluster and Rubirizi district as whole like wildfire. People have started organizing themselves to form Small Groups and have arranged for more training in TIST programs. I have been able to register 21 new Small Groups in one and half months. Long live TIST founders, leaders, farmers, and Cluster Servants. May the good Lord bless the work of your hands. By Agatha Atuhaire-Bushenyi-Kirugu Cluster
and others. By using energy saving cook stoves, I learnt that there will be reductions of too much cutting of trees. I also learnt that by using an energy saving cook stove, less firewood would be used compared to ordinary three fire stone. I thank TIST so much and wish program to continue and long live forever
THE JOY OF BEING A TIST FARMER
My name is Akena Christopher, and I am a member of the TIST Small Group called (Mic pa lacwec,) I come to know about TIST program in February 2021 by one of our quantifiers, Patrick Oneka, when he came for sensitization. He introduced TIST program in our area and that is when I came to realize how beneficial the program is for us, the farmers. I have then come to know that through the trees I have planted I will be able to get money, that is the pre-payment and the profit share. When the sequestered carbon is sold, I will also be able to sell other trees product like fruit and others. By using energy saving cook stoves, I learnt that there will be reductions of too much cutting of trees. I also learnt that by using an energy saving cook stove, less firewood would be used compared to ordinary three fire stone. I thank TIST so much and wish program to continue and long live forever. By Patrick Oneka Cluster Servant Gulu TIST HAS MITIGATED PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH CLIMATE CHANGE My name is Misango J.M from Mitooma Cluster in a Small Group called Misango Trees Growers. In our bid to mitigate problems associated with climate change, I hereby wish to thank TIST program for the trainings accorded to us. TIST training has catalyzed the planting of trees, the issue of herbal medicine, shade, fruits, rain, and poverty is now a history. Erosion control The fertility of the area under trees has greatly been enhanced through soil erosion control and mulching. The tree incentive paid to us in the form of prepayments and Profit Share periodically has helped members to pay school fees for their children, expand on our plantations, and buy domestic equipment. May the good Lord keep TIST program for today and tomorrow and for the future generation. Thank you TIST for combating climate change problems. Email Misangoj@gmail.com- Mitooma cluster
