I am Ben Walta, I was CERES Global Manager from 2012 to 2021.

The Jamnya housing project started in 2012 as a collaboration between Melbourne based CERES Global and local Indian NGO Satpuda Vikas Mandal based in Pal, Maharashtra. The project began with the design and build of new teachers’ quarters for the Jamnya School, one of their poorest boarding schools of around 400 students in a remote tribal village near Pal.The improved accommodation is anticipated to attract a higher calibre of teacher and improve the gender balance of teaching staff at the school, while at the same time introducing and exploring new and innovative sustainable construction materials

The Jamnya project is open to a number of collaboration possibilities.
