Our
Approach

At Jamma, we work with communities across the world to strengthen the ties of shared identity and build meaningful frameworks of trust. We are delighted to be continuing to support Baynards Zambia Trust with their work to improve the lives and livelihoods of rural communities in Zambia.  

Baynards Zambia Trust (BZT) was founded in 1997 and supports interventions to help isolated Zambian communities become self-sufficient. Their current initiatives include providing solar power for schools, creating digital hubs for young people and putting in place technology to help farmers move beyond subsistence farming to sustainable futures.

Helping communities connect, build sustainable capacity and thrive

BZT works with the Zambian Rainbow Development Foundation, a national non-governmental organisation. Together, they support holistic interventions which span improving access to education, HIV and AIDS programmes, village banks, sustainable agriculture and community capacity building. Higher income from farming and village banks for these communities enable more children to stay at school for longer, while crop diversification among other things helps to support nutrition for those suffering from AIDS. All their interventions have direct community involvement and are designed to become self-supporting.

At Jamma, we are proud to support projects that deliver on their promises to empower communities, build sustainable capacity and focus on positive outcomes.

As part of our work with people, Jamma supports organisations and initiatives that are shaping new ways of living, learning and co-existing for communities across the planet.

Through our ten-year relationship, we’ve been delighted to see how BZT have built capacity into their projects, introducing communities to better, more sustainable methods of farming, water management and protection as well as taking action to build schools and education systems for the next generation.

Jamma’s work with people involves supporting organisations like Baynards Zambia Trust and initiatives that are shaping new ways of living, learning and co-existing.

Jamma has supported BZT for over 10 years, and we are proud to be continuing to support this focused and driven organisation. We value long term relationships with projects that align with our values and return real, measurable benefits to the communities they support.

Jamma International is partnering with WWF to support the development of the Siana and Oloisukut Conservancies, located on the north-eastern boundary of the Maasai Mara Reserve.

Our work ensures that the conservancy not only secures a vital wildlife corridor for the migration of elephants and wildebeest, but also acts as a catalyst for local sustainable development, and positively influences the lives of Siana residents.

LONDON INTERDISCIPLINARY SCHOOL

Jamma is supporting the London Interdisciplinary School to build the UK’s most progressive new university, with a modern education designed to tackle the world’s many complex problems.

JAMMA INTERNATIONAL

Our
Approach

The problems facing humanity are more complex, interconnected and urgent than ever before. The modern workplace needs people who can tackle these kinds of issues and make a real impact on the world. The current university system can’t evolve quickly enough, so we need a new solution.



At Jamma we welcome those who take an innovative approach to the world’s most pressing issues. The London Interdisciplinary School is a very unique way of providing education and connects bright minds with real world issues. The London Interdisciplinary School launches in 2021 and is supported by some of the UK’s top intellectuals, industry experts, government and corporations who clearly see the need for this type of further education in our society.

Teaching students the knowledge and skills to create the change they want to see.

The London Interdisciplinary School places a premium on teaching. They have brought together a diverse and outstanding group of educationalists, with a team that includes philosophers, epidemiologists, artists, journalists, behavioural scientists and mathematicians as well as professionals and entrepreneurs. The sharing of mental models from across the boundaries of expertise will create new and relevant modes of understanding and experiencing the world.

“We don't know what the world of work will look like in 2050 but we do know that we will need brilliant problem-solvers who can tackle these issues in new ways.” - The London Interdisciplinary School

The London Interdisciplinary School will provide a fascinating and exciting challenge to traditional thinking about what a university degree should look like. Their curriculum, developed around real-world problems will be unique in UK higher education. Wrapped around and supporting the approaches to tackling these problems, will be an education in a strong suite of research and methodological tools.




The LIS founders see empowering students in research methods and skills as key in an age where factual knowledge is easy to come by but critical understanding and the creative generation of new knowledge is increasingly valued.

 

A university designed to give students the knowledge and skills to enter the modern workplace and make an impact on the issues that matter.

“At LIS we are founding an entire university based on interdisciplinary and non-disciplinary principles - the first of its kind in the UK” - Professor Carl Gombrich, Academic Lead at Head of Teaching and Learning at the London Interdisciplinary School

Globally, people across all regions, including Indigenous Peoples and local communities, rely on wild species for cultural, livelihood, and recreational purposes. However, overexploitation is causing declines in various taxa and regions – from fish to fungi, large mammals to medicinal plants, timber species to tortoises. The drivers stem from complex factors like institutions, economics, and culture. This project mobilises global expertise in science, policy, and practice to tackle overexploitation challenges, fostering sustainable use models that meet human needs while preserving species.

TEN FOR ZEN

Ten for Zen’s mission is to make the UK a centre of excellence for living a mindful life, and improving the wellbeing of people of all ages and backgrounds.

Our
Approach

Jamma has been working together with Martin Stepek, co-founder of Ten for Zen to develop a delivery plan. Jamma's vision is to provide a programme of Life Skills to provide knowledge, tools, and support to enable anyone, anywhere to experience the positive benefits of living a mindful life through an understanding of basic brain science and the skills needed to understand the mind.  



The founders of Ten for Zen are experts in delivering authentic and life changing mindfulness tuition and have guided thousands towards a mindful life. We are delighted to have been working with Ten for Zen and benefitted from their experience. 

Raising national awareness of living a mindful life as a positive choice.

Working in partnership with Ten for Zen, Jamma has been developing a plan to deliver a programme of Life Skills to enable individuals of any age and background to gain an understanding of life skills and with this knowledge, move towards the life they want to live.

At Jamma, our philosophy is to amplify the positive impacts of projects through partnership. Ten for Zen’s aim is to make living a mindful life accessible for all, and reinforces our commitment to wellbeing.

Introducing any new habit, routine or behaviour takes time. Learning to live a mindful life is no different. Ten for Zen have been working with Jamma to design a delivery programme for new resources that will include an array of accessible learning materials and tools that will enable individuals everywhere to learn the basics of brain science at their own level and pace, and at times that are convenient for them. 

Jamma International's work with Ten for Zen supports their aim of significantly raising awareness of the techniques required to live a more mindful life, improving health and wellbeing for individuals anywhere and at any time.

“Working together with Jamma International, we aim to make the UK a centre of excellence in the delivery of tools to help people live a mindful life, and also share this experience internationally.” Ten for Zen
