Angamma Charitable Trust
Collaboration, Co-creation, Connection
We are a South African Public Benefit Organisation (PBO)
Founded by Jay Naidoo in 2011 with the intention of rewriting the narratives that guide our human systems in collaboration with grassroots, local, national and international partners. Find out more about our past here.
Our Mission
We identify, connect, support, grow and innovate with the network of changemakers, organisations and groups who align with the vision of regenerative human systems in harmony with the natural environment through cross-sectoral, multicultural and intergenerational collaboration of diverse paradigms.
Our Areas of Focus
Our Natural Environment
We work to protect, restore, and regenerate the ecosystems that sustain all life. From post-mining landscapes to water systems and soil health, our approach centres ecological intelligence, Indigenous knowledge, and place-based action. We see nature not as a resource — but as a relative, teacher, and co-creator in every project we support.
We are involved in a Nature Positive Blueprint being piloted in the Magaliesburg Biosphere in collaboration with diverse sectors, cultures and generations.

We seek to build a safe space for women and children facing violence where they can heal, grow and develop their livelihoods and become empowered to take their rightful place in society.
We seek to create Centres for Women and Children. We are building a space in Magaliesburg,
Our Youth
We seek to unite the youth and support them in finding solutions for the crises they will face, as well as empower and develop themselves to become conscious, active and confident citizens of the world.
Programs include a comprehensive Youth Program.
Our Socio-Economy and Entrepreneurship
We seek to support regenerative value-chains that empower economic agency and support harmonious relationships between human systems and nature.
The Corporate Sector
We seek to leverage businesses to participate more fully in community-driven grassroots development and ecosystem regeneration.
Initiatives in this area of focus are still being designed.
