Our History

The Zacharias Tanee Fomum Foundation was established to honour and continue the extraordinary legacy of Professor Zacharias Tanee Fomum — scientist, prophet, author, and founder of the Christian Missionary Fellowship International (CMFI).

Founded in Cameroon, the Foundation operates multiple departments spanning education, health, social welfare, agriculture, publishing, legal affairs, and more. Each department reflects the founder's vision for the holistic development of the total man — addressing body, soul, and spirit.

Under the presidency of Pastor Theodore Andoseh (World Leader of CMFI) and the academic leadership of Prof. Dieudonné Njamen (Rector of ZTF University), the Foundation continues to expand its reach across Africa and the globe, touching lives in 130+ nations.

From its headquarters in Ndoumbi, Bertoua, Cameroon, the Foundation coordinates a network of schools, clinics, agricultural projects, homes for the vulnerable, and a prolific publishing arm — all offered at low or no cost to those in need.
