Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply for mother and child care support?

Pregnant women, new mothers and families with newborns or young children who cannot afford the care they need can apply. Children with poor nutrition or growth concerns, and families referred by doctors or partner facilities, are given priority.

Do I need a doctor’s referral?

A doctor’s prescription or medical report is required with the request, so our healthcare partners can see what care is needed. If you have not seen a doctor yet, contact our team and we will tell you how to get a first check-up.

Are vaccinations included?

ZEF supports routine childhood immunisation through partner facilities and guidance for families. Vaccines themselves are given through the government immunisation programme and approved health facilities; our team helps families find and reach them.

Is there any fee for these services?

ZEF never charges a fee to apply. Approved services are free or subsidised and are provided through partner facilities, not as cash. Our team explains what is covered for your case before any care is arranged.
