About Us

The Butterfly Tree charity was founded by Jane Kaye-Bailey after a business incentive trip to Zambia with her late husband, Lawrence, in February 2006. During a visit to the Mukuni Village they learned about the decimation caused by HIV/AIDS in Zambia,  every family had been affected. Out of 1000 pupils in the school, 450 were orphans.  Jane was determined to find a way to raise funds to help these vulnerable children.

Charity History

Inspired by these three little girls; Esnat, Angela and Cynthia, Jane Kaye-Bailey founded the UK charity. A month later The Butterfly Tree was registered as a Non-Government Organization in Zambia.
