ABOUT the foundation
Transforming Lives with Purposeful Support
The Pamela Zormelo (PZ) Foundation was established after the founder’s personal experience following hospital surgery. While recovering, she received an outpouring of love and support from family and friends. This experience opened her eyes to the struggles that many women in similar situations go through, often lacking basic care and burdened with worry about their children at home.
This realization led to the establishment of the PZ Foundation, dedicated to filling these gaps and offering a helping hand to those in need. The foundation has been duly registered with the Registrar General’s Department to champion the cause of supporting and empowering widows, widowers, and orphans and brilliant but needy children.
Our founder, Mrs. Pamela Zormelo, is an astute Ghanaian entrepreneur and mother with a passion for supporting Godly causes and aiding the needy and underprivileged in society.
Recognizing the unique challenges and vulnerabilities faced by these individuals, the foundation aims to provide assistance, resources, and a supportive community to help widows and widowers overcome obstacles and build fulfilling lives for themselves and their families. We aspire to be a source of comfort and support for the needy.
The foundation’s activities are focused on spreading hope and love. Our convictions are based on James 1:27 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.”
