1. What is TIST?

TIST is made up of people just like you. Most of us are subsistence farmers living in drylands areas suffering from deforestation, land degradation, drought, and famine. We form Small Groups that take action to stop this suffering and improve our local environment. We focus on environmental and sustainable development by planting trees and participating in the carbon business. TIST stands for “The International Small Group and Tree Planting Program,” and it is active in East Africa and India.

Below are brief statements summarising what TIST is:
