Joy Human Development Trust was founded after brothers James, John and Morgan Chibuye took part in a skills development programme in Lusaka in 1998. The project was organised and funded by Traidcraft and aimed to impart sustainable income generating knowledge to its participants. They received expert tuition from local and international craftspeople in the art of wood carving and papermaking.
