Help Us Send Books to Our First School Library in Zambia, Africa

“For everyone, everywhere, literacy is, along with education in general, a basic human right.... the road to human progress and the means through which every man, woman and child can realize his or her full potential.”

~ Kofi Annan, former United Nations Secretary-General

Who We Are

14+ Foundation (www.14plusfoundation.org) is a USA-based 501(c)(3) charitable organization that was founded in June 2012 to develop and build schools and orphanages for African children in rural communities.

Our first project is the Chipakata Children’s Academy (www.chipakata.org), created to serve as a community-based, multifunctional facility that includes a primary school for grades 1 to 7.  The student population of the school will include local orphans and vulnerable children from the Chipakata community, whose nearest school is currently more than 7 km away.  

It is a proven fact that higher levels of literacy are associated with the availability of classroom libraries with a sufficient quantity of books, providing children with the opportunity to read.  14+ Foundation has a committee dedicated to developing a library for the Chipakata Children’s Academy.  Our goal is to obtain approximately 2,400 books, purchase a shipping container and transport these books to Zambia, Africa.

To oversee the development and operation of the Chipakata Children’s Academy, the directors of 14+ Foundation created the Chipakata Children’s Academy Foundation, a Zambian-based NGO, who will ensure that the finances provided by 14+ Foundation are used for the intended purpose.
