About us
Our Story
ZEF Foundation was born from love, compassion, and a commitment to continue a remarkable legacy.
The organization is named after Zotah Elizabeth Fossungu, the beloved grandmother of our founder, Mr. Nkengfac Louis.
She was widely known for her kindness, generosity, and unwavering commitment to helping others. She opened her heart and home to vulnerable people and became a source of hope to many in her community.
Inspired by her example, Mr. Nkengfac Louis founded ZEF Foundation to continue her legacy by educating, protecting, and empowering vulnerable populations.
Today, ZEF Foundation stands as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for social change across communities in Cameroon.
