Honoring Our Son, Empowering Our Community

The Zayn B Ennis Foundation (ZBE Foundation) was born from a place of profound love and enduring strength, established in honour of our beloved son, Zayn.

The Story of Zayn

Zayn’s journey was one that touched the hearts of many. Born prematurely, he spent his early days in the NICU, surrounded by the diligent care of dedicated medical professionals and the love of his family. It was during this time that we witnessed firsthand the critical need for advanced medical equipment and resources in neonatal care. Zayn’s bravery and strength inspired us to ensure that every newborn receives the best possible start in life, regardless of the challenges they face.

Supporting the NICU

The NICU at the University Hospital of The West Indies is a beacon of hope for countless families. However, the need for up-to-date, life-saving equipment is ever-present. The Zayn B Ennis Foundation is committed to filling this gap. Through our fundraising efforts and partnerships, we aim to provide the NICU with incubators, ventilators, monitors, and other essential equipment. Every donation we receive goes directly towards saving the lives of the most fragile members of our community, giving them a fighting chance at life.

At the Zayn B Ennis Foundation, our projects are driven by our commitment to providing the best possible care for the most vulnerable members of our community. Here’s an overview of the critical initiatives we are currently undertaking:

Acquisition of Life-Saving Equipment for the NICU

We are dedicated to equipping the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the University Hospital of The West Indies with state-of-the-art medical equipment to ensure that every newborn has access to the best possible care.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

To help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and viruses within the NICU, we are securing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for all medical staff. Ensuring a safe and sterile environment is paramount to protecting both the infants and the healthcare providers who care for them.

Nurse’s Retreat and Training

Our healthcare professionals are the backbone of the NICU, providing unparalleled care and expertise. To celebrate and support these dedicated individuals, we have initiated the Nurse's Retreat project

Counselling for Parents

We understand the immense emotional toll on parents who have to watch their babies fight for their lives in the NICU.

Hurricane Beryl Relief Effort

In response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Beryl, we are raising funds and accepting donations to support victims in some of the hardest-hit areas in the Central and South-Western parishes of Jamaica.
