About Us

Rooted in Assin Fosu-Odumase. Driven by Love.

Zainab Foundation is a grassroots initiative dedicated to supporting children and families in the village of Assin Fosu-Odumase, Ghana. Founded by Abubakar Iddris in honour of my grandmother, Zainab, the foundation exists to give back to the community that raised him.

What began with a single act of kindness — helping a young boy get a prosthetic leg — has grown into something bigger. From donating football kits to local schools, to providing school supplies and sports equipment.

Our Mission

To bridge the opportunity gap and inspire children to dream beyond their current circumstances.

We believe every child deserves a chance to learn, play, and hope for a better future.

Zainab Foundation is powered by compassion, rooted in community, and committed to making a lasting difference — one small act at a time.

What We Value

  • Community first – We listen before we act.
  • Transparency always – Every donation has a purpose.
  • Hope for tomorrow – We invest in children, not just causes.
