The “Q” Fund

Changing the view

The “Q” Fund is a US based non-profit, social enterprise founded with the vision of implementing sustainable solutions to eradicate poverty among millions of children left orphaned by the AIDS virus in sub-Saharan Africa. By providing locally-supported, community-based education, today’s African children will continue to become tomorrow’s teachers, doctors, farmers, artists and leaders. 

The “Q” Fund began in 2000 as a registered 501 (C) (3) dedicated to building and supporting community schools with emphasis on traditional studies, vocational skills and the mandatory teaching about the truth of HIV and AIDS, taught by UNICEF. We drill for clean accessible water, implements feeding programs and whenever possible provide shelter and health care.

The goals of this organization is to raise awareness to the millions of children orphaned by AIDS, acknowledging their courage, grace and resolve to life, as well, to continually raise funding through various ongoing projects and activities to improve the quality of life for the thousands of healthy children, orphaned by AIDS in Africa.

The Mission:

To support orphans affected by the AIDS virus in Southern Africa. The “Q” Fund operates with the belief that education, community schools are the vehicle that will eradicate illiteracy, overpopulation, and poverty, forever turning the tide on HIV and AIDS and the millions of innocent children caught in its wake.

The Q Fund’s flagship project is the Chimoza Community School, which is situated near the old abandoned copper mines of Bwana Makuba and Old Regiment in the town of Ndola, Zambia.  Zambia is a landlocked country in the south central part of Africa that is home to more than 70 ethnic groups who live and interact peacefully. Zambia's Copper Belt was the backbone of a thriving economy until the collapse of the world copper market in the 1970s. Sadly, this once thriving country has become one of the world's poorest nations.

Chimoza has become widely recognized and respected well beyond the six communities whose population it serves. Standardized test scores are consistently higher than those of neighboring government schools. And while a traditional curriculum is taught during the day, each evening the school opens its doors to the men and women of the community for free vocational classes in sewing, carpentry, cooking, and farming.
