Scale community prevention
Extend Safe Births outreach into more communities and strengthen referral routes before complications become emergencies.
Funding & partnerships
Local trust. Global possibility.
VSF has the relationships, lived insight and delivery history. The next stage needs institutions ready to combine funding, evidence and influence with work rooted in Nigerian communities.
Protect high-risk pregnancies
Fund complete, accountable care pathways rather than isolated bills—antenatal care, delivery, early postnatal support and follow-up.
Build the evidence base
Work with research and evaluation partners to improve outcome tracking, cost analysis and learning for maternal-health practice and policy.
Complete critical infrastructure
Support the phased development of Victoria House as a safe, coordinated base for maternal and family support in Akure.
Who we want to work with
Different institutions. Shared outcomes.
Every partnership begins with a defined purpose, entity, budget, evidence plan and accountability route.
Philanthropic fundersResearch institutionsPublic-health systemsValues-aligned companies
VSF brings trusted community access, programme officers who understand local referral routes, relationships across health and public systems, and a support model shaped by women’s real lives.
We are also honest about the work still to do: strengthen outcome measurement, reconcile capital investment, deepen research capacity and develop a funding base capable of responsible scale.
