Carter Chifundo, is a normal high energy kid who loves soccer, swimming, race cars, monster trucks, spider man and the ninja turtles. Carter’s middle name. Chifundo is a Chewa name and it means 'mercy' or 'compassion.’ This name represents the qualities of showing kindness, empathy, and love towards others.
We loved the meaning of this name when we picked it for Carter, and a few years later when we started this organization, it embodied our vision and path forward.
