Our "four pillar model" aims
To drive communities of impoverished children toward the upward cycle that Confucius wrote of centuries ago – and take the children of our world to great new heights.
Our Philosophy
The Zamani Foundation’s most basic mission is to educate youth for a life of opportunity and hope.
Our development activities are part of a “whole person” initiative that span an entire life.
“Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.“
