The Epilepsy Support Foundation (ESF) was registered on 17 April 1990 as voluntary welfare organization number 1190 to support the welfare of people living with epilepsy through treatment, education, awareness advocacy, networking, medication, diagnosis, counseling and social support services. The ESF founding member Nicholas George lived more than 40 years of his life with epilepsy.

The ESF now has regional branches and support groups across the country. It offers membership to people living with epilepsy (PLWE), friends, relatives and corporate membership to organizations. The Foundation has an epilepsy centre in Hatfield, Harare - the Nicholas Arthur George Epilepsy Centre offering counseling, social, nursing and fundraising services. The Foundation is a member of the International Bureau for Epilepsy and its Regional Committee in Africa and works closely with the International League Against Epilepsy through its local chapter, the Zimbabwe League Against Epilepsy. The ESF cooperates closely with government and non-government agencies in Zimbabwe. The Foundation is also a member of the National Association of Societies for the Care of the Handicapped, and National Association of Non-Governmental Organizations (NANGO).
