Initiatives
What We Do
Introduction
At ZEF Global, our initiatives are designed to create meaningful change in communities, one step at a time. We work with community leaders to identify and prioritize needs and build specific initiatives with their guidance to address those needs. Current initiatives include The Aziz and Salma Foundation focused on women’s empowerment/education and services for the elderly and The Roshnee Initiative aimed at supporting children’s education focused on Social Emotional Learning.

Roshnee: Where Every Ray Sparks Growth.
Empowering Young Minds Through Education and Inclusion At ZEF Global, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to grow into a confident, compassionate, and well-rounded individual. That’s why we created Roshnee, an initiative dedicated to supporting children’s well-being, mental health, and social-emotional learning. Through engaging books, educational programs, and innovative tools, Roshnee fosters diversity and inclusion while equipping young minds with the skills they need to thrive.
Impacting Lives Locally and Globally
Roshnee’s mission extends beyond borders. We focus on empowering children in underserved communities, and introduce them to culturally enriching materials and software. By promoting diversity and inclusion, Roshnee inspires students to embrace differences and build connections in an increasingly interconnected world.
A Vision for Growth
Roshnee is designed to adapt and grow. As the initiative expands, we aim to make our materials and tools accessible to even more educators, families, and institutions. Whether it’s through books that inspire empathy, programs that enhance mental health, or software that supports personalized learning, Raushni is lighting the path toward a brighter future.
