Nchimunya Wulf
Co-Founder & CEO
In 2015, Nchimunya co-founded 14+ Foundation alongside architect Joseph Mizzi as a living commitment to this belief. The foundation works in rural Zambia to expand access to education through community-centered design, building spaces that are safe, dignified, and rooted in local knowledge. To date, 14+ has helped bring two schools to life, serving more than 500 children and supporting ecosystems that extend far beyond the classroom.
At the heart of the foundation’s work is collaboration. Local craftsmen are employed. Women’s cooperatives are established. Communities are not consulted after the fact—they are co-creators from the beginning. This approach ensures that each project is not only built for a community, but sustained by it, honoring cultural context while fostering long-term economic resilience.
Nchimunya’s vision has attracted global partners who share a commitment to impact with integrity, including Kevin Durant, whose nonprofit collaborated with 14+ Foundation on a basketball court designed by artist Rashid Johnson—an intersection of art, sport, and community pride that reimagines public space as a site of joy and belonging.
Through 14+ Foundation, Nchimunya Wulf advances a philosophy grounded in equity and care: that education is a human right, that design can be an instrument of empowerment, and that meaningful change begins by listening. Her work is guided by the belief that when communities are resourced with intention and respect, they do more than endure—they thrive.
This is the work.
This is the commitment.
This is design in service of future generations.
