Established in 2016 by Nkrumah Razak, then final year student of University of Cape Coast , ZAK Touching Lives Foundation Ghana (ZFG) was calved out of a deep passion to see society developed and children, especially, disadvantaged youth and vulnerable, the future of humanity, and disadvantaged women coming out of obscurity to have a sense of self –worth. Our aim is to partner governments, corporations, development institutions, community groups and single individuals across the globe in providing a more viable practical, result oriented and sustainable services in promoting human dignity and sustainable livelihood
Nkrumah started as a trained teacher and a radio broadcaster by profession who has the passion to help the youth to make a positive impact in society. Since its inception, ZAK Foundation has undertaken a number of projects in health and Education to address some needs of the people in Ghana. The commitment to the underlying principles establishing the organization led to a more institutional approach in perpetuating the concept of promoting the common interest of humanity by instituting a strong African humanitarian network in fulfilling this mandate.
Our prayer is that all humanity will come to understand the joy of living together with basic needs met. ZFG seeks the opportunity for all men; especially, youth, women and children; to level the playing fields and to create a better platform for their development. We share the belief that “global prosperity and peace will only be achieved once the entire world’s people are empowered to order their own lives and provide for themselves and their families”; our commitment is to make people more responsible to become active citizens and major performers in national development. ZFG had its first meeting on 7th of October, 2017 at the Obaa Plaza Hotel, Akyem Afosu Ghana with the first attendants being seven (7). It was incorporated under the Companies Code 1963(Act 179) as a Limited Company on 7th August, 2018.
We believe in empowering the future generations of our society to emerge from poverty through their own efforts by providing access to quality and relevant educational opportunities, coupled with the necessary educational resources to assist communities in producing and celebrating responsible and productive citizens.
Having and managing a correct marketing strategy is crucial in a fast moving market.
Eastern Region and Birim North District in particular has a vast stretch of land with lots of potential when tapped to the full (est.) will save the people from the acute poverty and its attendance challenges. In terms of climatic conditions, the area is more favorable for crop production and yet the people cannot produce enough to feed themselves throughout the year not to talk of selling to others. ZAK Foundation is therefore working to improve on food production and alternative income generating activities:
Women have been treated as people with no rights, whose place is in the” kitchen”, especially in Africa, Ghana, and the northern regions in particular. Opportunities are therefore not shared evenly among both sexes. This is demonstrated in areas such as the ownership of productive resources, school attendance, credit worthiness, etc. These facts could be attributed to low enrolment in school, early marriages, domestic violence, and socio- cultural beliefs and practices. We aspire to give women a say in the making of strategic decisions, giving them the opportunity to own productive resources and create the awareness of sending both the boy and girl child to school. We will improve women’s credit worthiness through the formation of small groups to access credit from financial institutions and others
Access to primary health care services in the area in which we operate is poor. This is due to such factors as unavailability of such facilities, poverty and ignorance. The people are also vulnerable to HIV/AIDS infection due to the activities of mining within the area. ZAK Foundation, therefore will work to halt the spread of HIV/AIDS, improving on their access to primary health care services as well as reducing maternal and infant mortality in the area.
ZAK Foundation Ghana focuses on building the necessary skills and competencies for young people to be self-sufficient, facilitating their transition to adulthood.The objective is to enhance youth literacy, employability, civic engagement, creativity and wellbeing. We work with other youth organizations, trainers, researchers and youth workers to improve learning and financial opportunities for young women and men in a variety of areas directly related to their development, such as life skills, technical and vocational training, entrepreneurship, sustainable development, civic participation and leadership, among others. Throughout this work, ZAK Foundation Ghana promotes equal access to quality education, training and capacity building for young women and men.
