How Can We Impact Lives
"How can we impact lives?"
That simple sentiment serves as the cornerstone upon which The Tarkus Zonen Foundation is established. Founded by 2 young professionals, our Board realizes the compelling synergies offered through the amalgamation of our resources. We envision a charitable platform that will improve the lives of children and others and offer a meaningful contribution to our society. By leveraging expertise and network of professional backgrounds, we are committed to transforming this dream into a reality.
The Foundation launched "The Shoes For Liberia Project". This project enhances the physical, emotional and social well-being of Liberians in need of foot wear. With this unique project, we pride ourselves in the fact that our foundation is different from others. We are dynamic in our decision making and constantly in pursuit of new charitable causes. Our board also understands the impact each of us can have on one life, one cause, one day at a time.

Who We Fund
Our Foundation is proud to fund "The Shoes For Liberia Project". The shoes donated to the project are taking to Liberia and distributed to deserving people in villages, under privileged communities. Your donation is cherished by under privileged Liberians who are not fortunate to even own a pair of shoes - something that will give them enormous self esteem and help prevent diseases. To you those shoes might be old, but for them it is something they probably thought about, but never realize they could own.
