Farmers from Mairi Cluster in Murang'a, Kenya, met today to discuss diabetes. They decided to use natural stevia sugar instead of common sugar. The support that these clusters provides for farmers goes well beyond the topic of farming & trees. #reforestation #diabetes #trees

Did you know that TIST farmers are able to start small businesses with the money they earn planting trees? Yes! TIST farmers often reinvest their earning in entrepreneurial pursuits. #farmersaretheanswer #smallbusiness #entrepreneurship #reforestation #planttrees #empowerwomen

TIST farmers do amazing things with their carbon revenue!
TIST member Esther Muthoni was retired for a short time when she realized she had much more to offer the large group of at-risk children in her area. HIV, food insecurity, lack of funds for school fees + low attendance of girls in school convinced her to open Saint Annmona.⁠
