About Us
Vickies Foundation is a non-governmental organisation which is focused on the education and career development needs of Nigerian children, students and youths.
At Vickies Foundation
We recognise that education is the remedy for all kinds of social ills and that the foundation of a good education is the means to pass on knowledge communicated through the written medium of books.
- Books help give information concerning particular disciplines and therefore help in different kinds of research and reference.
- Books also help in recording important information that cannot or should not be forgotten for purposes of future reference.
- They are used as teaching materials in schools and other learning institutions as they record the curriculum that is used by teachers to deliver teaching to learners.

Primary and Secondary Schools
Young people quite rightly believe that education is vital to prosper in life and further one’s career potential. The hunger for knowledge of many students motivate them to attend school at all cost. The sad truth, however, is that often times, their parents cannot afford the books needed for their academic development and schools also often lack the necessary resources to provide these essential learning materials.
Furthermore, many schools do not even have library facilities and as a result students and young people are not able to reach their potential in life. Books really are essential and fulfil a variety of needs from academic through to entertainment and relaxation.
Vickies Foundation has been established in order to tackle the issue of failing education due to lack of access to books and learning materials. The Foundation sources and then donates books to these schools and educational institutions, enabling them to meet the primary needs of students.
Universities
Due in large part to the lack of adequate learning materials and resources, many Nigerian University students are unaware of global issues and development initiatives happening around the world. Students are thus disadvantaged and not fit to meet national and international challenges that may well have been fully addressed in academic literature.
There are so many issues of importance and so many students hungry for the challenge, but they are currently being starved of the necessary tools to meet those challenges. Even from a very foundational level of understanding the issues at hand let alone the solutions, mean students need to be fed through the medium of literature.
Due to a lack of education through a scarcity of books, many are unaware of such core issues as – the reason for the transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals, international trade, issues of migration and forced displacement of people, climate change, humanitarian aid, foreign and development aid, globalisation and inequality and many more.
Vickies Foundation will donate development books to Universities across Nigeria and provide e-books in the long run. We will also sensitise the students and general public to the benefits that come with global awareness.
Other Areas of Support
Our other focus area is for students who do not have a clear career path, some lack basic employability skills, others do not have the leadership experience needed in the University or workplace. Being a leader does not necessarily mean someone at the fore-front always, but it is important for everyone to be able to coordinate teams, small groups and use their voice when required. Hence, Vickies Foundation will organise self-development seminars and workshops to groom the students and youths on their path to greatness.
We have the interest of orphans, school-dropouts, disabled and the marginalised at heart, hence, we would organise free vocational skills training to equip them with certain skills they can use to earn some income and sustain their livelihood.
Vickies Foundation is concerned about the homeless as well and so we plan to make some basic needs donations to help these individuals live another happy day.
