Our Roots Go Deep

Malambo Grassroots is a group of volunteers operating out of Canada, UK, and Zambia. We work with communities in Southern Province, Zambia to address their ongoing needs, focusing on education, community development, climate change mitigation (including tree planting), income-generating projects and emergency assistance.

The children from Malambu school eagerly line up to have their faces painted by Heidi Krutzen.

We are:

Jocelyn Banyard, Co-founder and programming lead (Canada)

Antonia Banyard, fundraising lead (Canada)

Rabson Kambwali, in-country facilitator (Zambia)

Dr. Thea Savory, bookkeeping and advisor (Zambia)

Heidi Krutzen, director emeritus (UK)

Sarah Taylor, media support (Canada)

We are grateful for our co-founder Marylee Banyard (1935-2022)

We also work with in-country partners including Sr Lontia Siakalambwa, head teacher of St. Vincent de Paul School. We keep in constant contact with our Zambian partners through WhatsApp, email, and social media.
