Looking for a Holiday Gift That Gives Back?
ZJMF has a collection of colorful, durable handmade bags from the Baobuya Women’s Sewing Circle in Livingstone, Zambia. The sewing circle is an inspiring example of women working together to build steady incomes, learn new skills and strengthen their community.
Make a tax-deductible donation of $250 or more and we’ll send you one of these beautiful bags as a thank-you, while supplies last!
Learning environment
Our projects are all driven by the expressed needs and wishes of the Zambian community and their educators. Our volunteers partner to create joyous, workable spaces for learning.
Donated supplies
Our volunteer teams don’t just build classrooms, desks, and chairs. We transport books, toys, and critical school supplies to fill those classrooms. While not everyone can travel to Zambia, everyone can donate and help change a child’s life!
Community-led
With the help of our Zambian coordinator, we take care to conduct work that is aligned with the community’s visions and values and to partner with local leaders, educators, parents, and children.
Help us spread the word
Telling friends and family, following and sharing our posts on social media, and even pitching traditional media on the foundation and our mission is a wonderful way to get involved. Go follow us on social right now and send us a note if we can help you help get the word out.
