The Q Fund

Mission

The Q Fund envisions a world of children awakened to their inherent sense of value and purpose. Our mission is to partner with communities in turmoil and build school-centered, self-sustaining environments that nurture, educate and empower vulnerable children by honoring diversity, cultivating creativity, and fostering respect for the earth.

Programs

Our program includes building community schools (Chimoza Community School, completed in 2007 in Ndola, Zambia and Mucinshi School, construction to begin in 2008 in Livingstone, Zambia), while at the same time creating sustainable agri-businesses and micro-enterprises that create opportunities for local residents and ensure the ongoing financial sustainability of key projects and programs.
