Our vision is to empower individuals to realize healthier, gender-sensitive, sustainable communities- where individuals are educated, empowered to provide better solutions and actively involved to achieve gender parity and drive a new era of development and productivity with equal opportunities- for future generations.
Our Mission
Our mission is to work hand in hand with communities to build a healthier, safer and thriving community for future generations; and create a greener and sustainable environment to alleviate poverty.
Zikora foundation is mainly striving to support communities achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)- 3, 5 and 11. Our programs are designed with focus on these SDGs, with the intent to support governments in the implementation of environment sustainable programs, improve health care services, create awareness, empower communities to build communities where human rights are respected, and poverty is alleviated.
Our foundation is taking huge steps to ensure healthy lives through Health Outreaches to enlighten communities on common diseases, viruses and bacteria such as malaria, hepatitis, lassa fever, glaucoma; informing them on better sanitation measures and providing free medical consultations and care.
We assist hospitals with medical equipment towards better medicare delivery.
The goal of the Foundation’s health programme is to achieve sustainable improvements in health status in communities, especially among girls and women.
Girls and Women play a pivotal role in achieving sustainable communities- Educate a woman you educate a nation. Our foundation capitalizes on this, advocating strongly for gender equality and empowering women through our gender programs. Our Programs focuses on sexual, reproductive and maternal health, women, peace and security as well as women and the environment.
Our Foundation is aware that communities and cities play a vital role in enabling individuals to advance socially and economically and thus, face challenges to achieving and maintaining communities and cities with an environment to thrive.
Our programs support and empower individuals to build healthier, sustainable environments for their communities and cities.
Our programs which are designed to achieve the SDGs 3,5 and 11 aim at:
Promoting policy dialogue and mechanisms that allow for sustainable health care services and systems; creating awareness and advocacy on best practices, hygiene and lifestyles that would lead to healthier communities; creating knowledge data base for easy access for communities on health care and providing free basic health care services through medical outreaches.
Empowering through scholarships for young boys, girls and women to be educated in schools or in acquisition of a skill; teaching the art of self-defense; counselling and pro bono representations for women who are victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse or harassment and how they can identify and report these abuses.
Creating environmentally friendly and self-conscious individuals.

Drop off at any of our recycling centres or
