Our Story

WHO WE ARE - We are a registered health-based charity and health non-profit organization initially founded on September 11, 2017 in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, but celebrate our anniversary every April 2. We pride ourselves on honesty and transparency. Members of this organization fondly call themselves "Victorians"  which translates to people who conquer whatever situations or adversities they face. Membership is open to both males and females and people from all walks of life as long as they have a passion to help others in their community, regardless of their circumstances. We are built on a love for humanity and a desire to see people live longer and healthier lives. 

We aim to achieve this through health education and awareness, teaching first aid and emergency response, charity, research, innovation and partnership. 

We have grown to be the biggest health-based foundation in Nigeria with a strong network of volunteers in many towns and cities, with potential expansion into the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. Location or distance is never a barrier for us.

As a charity, we support individuals and groups through charitable donations and relief materials.

April 2nd every year is celebrated as our anniversary, while February 9th each year is Victoria Oyiya Day.

VISION - to be an organization built on honesty and transparency as we bring health innovation to Africa. We educate individuals in society on how to live a healthier life, prevent emergencies and address them if they arise. Through telehealth, medical missions and outreaches, we will reach and educate students in schools, women in the community, new mothers, provide health access and foster partnerships with corporate bodies that share the same vision. In future, we hope to provide training and expertise to local health professionals through partnerships with our health partners both in and outside Africa in reaching residents of underserved communities in sub-Saharan Africa.

MISSION - to glorify God by going about doing good deeds as the light of the world and salt of the earth. We believe good deeds conquer evil, so we organize health awareness and advocacy campaigns in both urban and rural areas, through various partnerships.

Alleviate poverty by supporting youths and women in sub-Saharan communities through charitable donations and health supply donations.

To encourage preventive health through providing access to professional care without via telehealth, debunking misinformation and misconceptions.

OUR IMPACT - so far, we have reached out to and touched the lives of thousands of youths and women through our community and social media campaigns in sub-Saharan Africa.

The organization is named after Late Victoria Oyiya Nsa(nee Brown), one of the most successful businesswomen to come out of Port Harcourt in southern Nigeria. An Ibani-speaking Ijaw woman and indigene of Grand Bonny in the Niger Delta region of sub-Saharan Africa.

Victoria Oyiya was born on 9th February 1929 in Bonny to the Brown family and the Bristol-Alagbariya Royal family(acclaimed founders of Grand Bonny). She was the only child of her mother after the loss of her only brother at a very early age. Her father is the founder of the award-winning Abara cultural dance group in Rivers State and the inventor of the Abara dance, which has been showcased on multiple stages worldwide. He was also the author of the Ibani(a local Ijaw dialect)dictionary.

By marriage, she is related to the Igbos of South East Nigeria as V.C.I. Anene, a famous businessman, columnist and author in the old Eastern region of Nigeria, also former secretary of the then Igbo Union(now called Ohaneze ndi Igbo)and former senator in the defunct Biafra republic, was her first husband. She later remarried Mr. Nsa from the Efik people of the current Cross River State, Nigeria. 

As a young woman, she had multiple early pregnancy miscarriages, which had a huge toll on her; this led her to fondly appreciate the joys of motherhood and develop a profound love for children and youth. 

She was known to be very passionate about healthcare and wished more people would choose that career path to advance knowledge and help their communities.

She formed the first women’s cooperative organization in her community in Finima. She was a foremost feminist and advocate for women’s rights. She was the owner of the first Port Harcourt Airport Hotel and a chain of hotels and serviced apartments under the name VEN Hotels in old Port Harcourt. As a politician, she contested for Local Government chairmanship in the 2nd Republic on the platform of the Social Democratic Party(SDP) that had Chief MKO Abiola as a presidential aspirant.

She won many awards, including the Young Women’s Christian Association Lifetime Award she won posthumously.

She died due to complications of Diabetes Mellitus on the 2nd of April, 1996.
