About Us

Who We Are

Zoe’s Promise, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Bowie, Maryland, dedicated to empowering orphaned and vulnerable children across the Caribbean, Central & South America, and Africa. We believe every child deserves access to education, healthcare, basic needs, and opportunities for growth. Through our programs, we provide resources that not only meet immediate needs but also create lasting impact for children, families, and communities.

Founded in 2020 by Nadesia Henry Hylton and Zoe Hylton, Zoe’s Promise was born out of compassion and a vision for global change. What started as a mission to support struggling orphanages has grown into a global movement of hope, care, and empowerment. Over the years, we have successfully delivered education, clothing, medical supplies, food aid, and cultural development programs to hundreds of children in underserved regions. Our commitment remains unwavering: to ensure that no child is left behind.
