This study investigates dimensions of social, economic, and environmental justice in East Africa concerning artisanal and small-scale mining. It focuses on how perspectives from ordinary Christian miners' theologies, combined with biblical theologies of justice, can be applied in practice toward development of the sector. Some of the strongest bonds in typical rural communities are found in churches, and faithful Christians can be engaged in overtly faith-based initiatives toward development. The research serves as an ideal strategic approach to improving livelihoods for artisanal miners.

Autorenporträt
Terry Garde has more than 45 years of mining experience, gained mostly in Zimbabwe, including aspects of technical, managerial, consulting, and mining education. After retiring from the large-scale sector, his Ph.D. researched the artisanal and small-scale sector using a framework of practical theology. Terry sees himself as fortunate in being able to integrate his vocation in mining with his Christian beliefs. He is also blessed in still being married to his first love, Barbara, and in their ever-extending family of adult offspring, spouses, and grandchildren.
