We Are A Non-Profit Organization
Zoe Health Foundation is a non-governmental organization which focuses on the health needs of the underprivileged people, women empowerment and gender equality and quality education. The vision is for all underprivileged people to have access to Primary Health care and that they should have access to education and their women should be empowered to carry out sustainable activities. The Organization started work in 2018 but because of political instability in the country, we only got registered in 2020.
The organization has reached out to at least 6000 people with about 30 projects one of which was the Prevention of COVID-19 programs in which we distributed facemasks and hand sanitizers to over 500 adolescent girls and young women and medical personnel in other hospitals and health centers in Douala and Yaoundé. We aspire to provide preventive treatment for malaria to children below 5years, pregnant women and lactating mothers at the refugee camp in Yassa-Douala by December 2020.
Together To Help The World Better!
