About Us

Crafting a Brighter Future, Note by Note

Bridge7 Foundation is here to bring transformation to underprivileged youth and women in Zambia and the USA. By using music as a connective tool we want to create a platform that engages the youth through artistic expression and also raise funds for the foundation. Our core mission is to empower individuals through education, artistic development, and socio-economic initiatives and bridge the gap between resources and needs. Founded by Ndemena Chitumbo, a community leader and musician, the foundation wants to see a world where everyone has a chance to succeed. Through our framework, we will build a youth center in Kitwe—Ndemena’s hometown—so we can have a safe space for growth, creativity, and empowerment in a
community environment. We can create a brighter tomorrow, note by note.

Ndemena Chitumbo

Executive Director/President

Born and raised in Kitwe, Zambia, Ndemena Chitumbo has always had a love for music and community. He started as a member of Fountain of Praise Music, where he played bass guitar and was part of two albums, “Zambia is for Jesus” and “Rivers of Life.” In 2001 Ndemena moved to the United States and arrived in New York on September 11th. After a short stay in New York, he moved to Maryland and joined Winning Grace International Church, where he is actively involved in the music ministry. As a musician, Ndemena plays keyboards, bass guitar, and acoustic guitar and is the music minister. Ndemena’s passion for serving goes beyond music; he is also involved in the local Zambian community in Maryland, D.C., and Virginia. For the past three years, he has been the Vice President of the Association of Zambians in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia (AZDMV) and is committed to serving his community. Through Bridge7 Foundation, Ndemena wants to empower underprivileged youth and women in Zambia using his experience and passion to bring about transformational change and lasting impact.

Mr Paul Canepac

Board Member

My educational path started with Bachelor of Science, double majoring in Physics and Mathematics with a minor in Philosophy. I then went on to earn my Master of Science in Applied Mathematics. While earning my degrees, I discovered my love and talent for teaching. I am currently working as a Tenured Professor of Mathematics at a community college, with over 15 years of teaching experience. While working, I earned two additional advanced degrees, Master of Education in Educational Technology and Online Instruction and an Educational Specialist degree in Curriculum and Instruction. My entire career has been devoted to the higher education of students from a wide variety of backgrounds. Students in my classes include traditional high school graduates, returning adult learners, international students, first-generation college students, and those from the entire spectrum of socioeconomic backgrounds. With my unique blend of expertise, compassion, technology and experience, I meet students at their points of need to give them the best chance of achieving their goals.
