Victoria Teens Foundation Against Sexual Abuse
Breaking the silence on sexual abuse, one teen at a time.
We create a safe, supportive space for young people struggling with mental health issues from sexual abuse, and we equip them with skills to build a better future for themselves.
Who we are
A supportive space where teens find healing, skills and hope.
Victoria Teens Foundation Against Sexual Abuse (also known as Vee Teens Connect) creates a supportive space for young people who are struggling with mental health issues which stem from sexual abuse. We believe no child deserves to live in fear, silence or pain.
Founded in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, our work reaches into schools, churches, communities and homes across Nigeria, offering free therapy, awareness education, skills training, and a team that fights for justice for victims.
"Until you are an adult, you do not have the right to give sexual consent to anyone."

Real lives changed. Real stories of courage.
From our outreaches, over fifty teenagers were bold enough to approach us and speak about their experiences. These are some of what we have seen and heard.
"I have not been able to tell anyone my story for fear of being judged. I tried telling my mum but she didn't believe me. The last time it happened was three months before VEE TEENS CONNECT visited our school. When they came, I finally found someone who believes and understands my situation. I believe Vee Teens Connect came to my school just for me."
"When Vee Teens Outreach came to my school, I saw the teenagers that came with them. I saw how happy, bold and outspoken they were. I could not imagine being like them one day. Aunty Victoria said things that changed my mindset. 'It's your body, no one has the right to sexually abuse it.' That sentence changed my life."
Therapist remark
"Cases of abuse are on the increase. From our outreaches, we have counseled over fifty students who were bold enough to approach us. We recorded sexual abuse in almost every school we have visited. We call on everyone to join hands and support our programme, to enable us reach more children in Akwa Ibom State facing sexual abuse."
