Zuri Nzilani Foundation (ZNF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating pregnant women about hypertensive disorders and other high-risk complications of pregnancy. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, ZNF was a noble idea by the founder and executive director, Ashley Wayua, who resolved to promote sensitization of maternal health after being diagnosed with preeclampsia twice, one in which she, unfortunately, lost her daughter to the condition. The foundation was named Zuri Nzilani in honour of her memory.
