About 14 Plus Foundation Inc

14 Plus Foundation Inc is a New York City–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2012 by Joseph Mizzi and Nchimunya Wulf to develop, build and operate schools and related community infrastructure in rural Zambia. The organization operates as a largely volunteer-run charity and states that the majority of donations are applied directly to program services.

14+ Foundation has delivered multiple completed school projects in Zambia, including the Chipakata Children’s Academy (opened 2015) and the Mwabwindo School (opened 2018), each serving roughly 200–250 primary-age students. Recent activity includes ongoing school operations and fundraising events (the organization’s website lists events through 2025) and publicly filed Form 990 returns reporting fiscal-year financial activity for 2023–2024.
