History
Year 2005, areas in north of Pakistan were jolted with tremors. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by the earth quake in Azad Kashmir and adjacent areas. Zahid Noor Afridi (aka ZEEK), an artist felt the pain of sufferers while he was travelling in affected areas to help. Initially this was his personal charity but his heartfelt plea mobilized his friends and family to contribute. His popularity moved a number of other nobles to join hands and ZEEK led trucks of Food, NFIs (non-Food Items), travelled himself to far flung areas to distribute. His efforts were acknowledged by other charities too. The work did get organized under the name of ZEEK Foundation in April 2006, and thence onwards proper methodologies were followed. ZEEK kept the noble work under his personal charity network for almost 5 years. However, in 2010 he decided to organize his vision as a registered body and thus ZEEK Foundation was born. It Is now registered as an NGO under Social Welfare Agency Ordinance 1961, with Government of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), the Directorate of Social Welfare since October, 2010. ZF has a rich experience in the development sector as well as humanitarian relief. ZF has a team of development professionals with vast experience. ZF has established systems for program implementation, financial management, human resource pool and last but not the least active interaction with the grass root level organization of CBOs/CSOs in its program areas specifically in FATA. Zeek Foundation has also worked in Emergency Response sectors like Earthquake, Floods and IDP’s.
