Born From Loss, Built To Save Others
Turning Zemfira’s story into a movement that protects every teenager’s future.
Z Legacy Foundation was created in memory of my beloved daughter Zemfira, a bright young girl whose life was tragically cut short in a subway accident. Her story became our purpose — to protect, educate, and guide teenagers away from dangerous social media trends.
We work to raise awareness, support families, and create safer spaces for youth both online and offline. Every initiative we run carries her spirit — full of life, love, and hope.
Mission
Z Legacy Foundation’s mission is to honor the memory of Zmarf by protecting and educating teenagers about the dangers of social media-fueled risks like subway surfing.
Through awareness, school outreach, and family support, we prevent tragedy and help teens live fully and fearlessly.
Vision
Our vision is a world where no child loses their life to a reckless trend, where teens value safety over social media fame, and where families feel secure knowing awareness and education guide their children’s choices.
Z Legacy Foundation strives to turn loss into lasting protection for generations to come.
