The Butterfly Tree NGO in Zambia is the sister organisation to The Butterfly Tree in the UK. The Non-Government Organisation was founded by Jane Kaye-Bailey, after a visit to Zambia in 2006. The following year the charity was registered both in the UK and Zambia.  Our aim is to support rural communities and orphans decimated by the HIV/AIDS pandemic. All the members are volunteers, which enables donor funds to go directly into the grass root projects.

Originally based in Mukuni Village, the  NGO in Zambia is now based in Livingstone

Our NGO Team

The team comprises the UK chairman and local Zambian people. They have a wealth of experience in health, education and community matters. The trustees include a former Head Teacher, a former Chairman of the Livingstone Malaria board, a former local counsellor and an orphans completed school after being sponsored by The Butterfly Tree. All the projects are initiated, managed and monitored by these dedicated volunteers who cover a substantial distance from the centre. The NGO team go into outreach communities to source projects and identify problems, working with the local people to find what is most needed. Through collaboration with the UK Chairman they determine what is most urgent. All our funds are used for grass root projects, which provide the essentials in life: Water – Food – Health – Education as well as Sustainable income-generating activities.

Once prioritising has been decided upon, only then do the NGO in Zambia commence the projects, ensuring close monitoring on a regular basis. The UK trustees also project manage and oversee the work in progress and help in the initiation of many of the health projects for Malaria Prevention and HIV and AIDS Prevention, community and education, including the invaluable orphan support programme. We have a proven record of transparency and a sound reputation for getting things done!
