The Idea
Organization
Mafisa Community Transformation Trust
300M African pastoralists eke out a living from small cattle herds and lack basic vet services—most animals die before they can be sold. As a result, farmers have little incentive to graze sustainably and are caught in a vicious cycle of grassland degradation and poverty.
About Charlotte
Charlotte has worked on improving livelihoods for very poor Zambian communities for many years. She founded ZayoHub a few years ago, focusing on Zambia's most impoverished and climate-impacted region, and Mafisa grew out of that work. She loves Zambia's environment and rural spaces, and led the Communities portfolio on the Zambia Wildlife Authority board. She studied social and structural barriers to combat chronic poverty for her PhD too.
