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.

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.

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.
