Jane with HRH The Princess Royal in Mukuni Village
In 2012 Jane hosted HRH The Princess Royal at Mukuni Village, after The Butterfly Tree was chosen to receive a visit during The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Year.
Jane personally funds the administrative costs in the UK, adds all the content and photos on the website and insists that the charity is run entirely by volunteers. She has had the same team both in the UK and Zambia with her since 2006.

Jane has engaged individuals, organisations and corporates in supporting The Butterfly Tree. She promotes the cause in Zambia and has shown numerous tourists the various projects in Mukuni Village and beyond, as well as engages local tour operators and hoteliers. The Butterfly Tree projects in Zambia have become a popular destination for global volunteers from all walks of life.
