HISTORY:
Abena Kapumpe Choni is a 501c (3) Alameda, the California-based Tax-exempt charitable Nonprofit organization. Specifically, we support community-based programs whose aims are to improve the underprivileged living standard of the disadvantaged in the Sub-Sahara region of Africa by providing skills and opportunities at both ind
ividual and national levels. KAPUMPE means the ‘EAGLE BIRD’. The aim is to “Fly like an eagle sky’s the limit” to fight and change the world, one child at a time. Kapumpe is the name of late Kapumpe Nsama, a native of Mporokoso, Northern part of Zambia, and mother to the organization founder Chikwanda Chabala. It is for this reason that the name Kapumpe was adopted. The idea of forming our organization came up in June 2007 by the founder Chikwanda Chanda Chabala and co-founder Chipemba Suma Salimu (mother and son). They both have prior experience volunteering with various international organizations in the USA. During this time, mother and son realized that they had been giving a blind eye to their nation, Zambia, Africa, and needed to do something about it. To make it possible, they came up with an idea of a nonprofit organization. The goal is to work in conjunction with other organizations in Africa that are helping local communities under the similar mission, objectives, vision, and programs:

there will be a reduction in early childhood marriages and
homelessness.

poverty among the homeless and widows.

infrastructure by supporting the community health care services. PLAN:
1. Work with local organizations and communities to ensure that children
are guided through the critical years of their education and social
development by providing educational resources and social welfare
support consistently to enable the children access to full academic
school year
2. Collaborate with businesses, stakeholders such as volunteer medical
doctors, teachers, nurses, and pharmaceutical companies to provide
guidance and healthcare services including under-five clinics,
gynecology, ant natal services, and screening/treatment for HIV and
malaria. How we achieve our goals:
Continous private and public fundraising activities, collaboration with stakeholders, donors, communities locally and internationally. Apply the proceeds of such efforts to support the program goals and plans.
