The Vickyheldan Empowerment Foundation (VEF), a non-profit organization founded by Nigerian entrepreneur, Dr. Victory Ifeoma Njoku, on Thursday called for the establishment of a continent-wide alliance to combat Africa’s high maternal mortality rate and growing mental health challenges among women, warning that governments alone lack the capacity to address the escalating healthcare crisis.
The foundation focuses on improving healthcare access, advancing gender equality, promoting quality education, and championing community outreach across Nigeria and the African continent in alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
