It has affected the lives of many men, women and children through its work on education, health, environment, relief supplies to internally displaced persons among others things.
“Despite the lean resources, ZPF has supported many young men and women to further their educational aspirations. ZPF has organized a series of training for them to pass the JAMB exam and secure admission into our tertiary institutions in the country.
“However, in the area of health, we have intervened in many important ways especially the rehabilitation of some sections of the Martha Bamaiyi General Hospital, Zuru and the Medical outreach interventions have permitted ZPF to support many sick persons in the four local government areas of Zuru, Danko Wasagu, Fakai and Sakaba.
” An important pillar of our work has been the provision of relief supplies to internally displaced persons affected by banditry attacks. The forum has worked tirelessly in the area of environment through its tree planting campaign. Thousands of trees have been planted in many schools to provide shade as well as protection against wind and erosion in the affected schools, He explained.
