Hello Victoria pls tell us about yourself?

Hi there!  My name is Victoria Ibiwoye. I am a social entrepreneur and Law student at the premier university, Ibadan.



Tell us about one africa child

Oneafricanchild Initiative is an organisation founded primarily to educate and empower African children.
Our aim is to build the largest network of young leaders who will create a positive and lasting legacy in their endeavours.


How long have you been doing this?

Oneafricanchild has been in operation for less than a year. It was founded on November 20, 2013


What/who inspired the birth of one african child?

Oneafricanchild was inspired by my love and passion for and to reshape Africa. I live in a community and time where there is loss of identity especially in the lives of children.
There is also little knowledge of culture. A lot of children barely know where they came from, where they are or where they are heading in life. There is faint hope about the future and less care about 'Today'.
Oneafricanchild stands to instill confidence in children and to direct them in living God ordained lives.


How do you get funds to support your projects?

We gather funds through sponsorships, donations, contributions and by collaborating with other non profits on a project.


Knowing that one african child is not a "business" you've set up to generate income, what gives you the zeal to carry on?


People. I have the best team to work with. They are committed, goal-driven, accountable and God fearing members. I am what i am because of who they are.


Are there times when you've wanted to quit?

Oh yes, there were. Seeing how much we have achieved and much more than we still can, gives me the zeal to carry on. There has also been God on my side.
