Changing a life at a time

Every little bit helps. So let’s change together.

Mental illness

Mental illness & homeless in Togo

‘Promote mental health & well-being by one-third by 2030’

– United Nations

World Health Organisation called for an end to the chaining of people with mental illness.

We have done some work. We have found an ethical and humane solution and would like to take you through the journey. We believe together we can make seeing the naked with mental illness on the streets of Togo a thing of the past.

Families of people with mental illness bear the overwhelming costs of care and the greatest burden falls on mothers, sisters and daughters.

We hope that just as there is access to medications for HIV that they could be subsidized medication for the antipsychotic.

Education

Our Children & Youth Education

Knowledge is Power. Information is liberating, Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family
– Kofi Annan

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world
– Nelson Mandela

He who opens a school door, closes a prison
– Victor Hugo

By keeping a child in school we can tackle Child Labour & Child Trafficking.

We were approached by Le Guide school (Complexe Scolaire) Vogan in the South-East of Togo for help. The teachers had not been paid and children were dropping out.

In 2020, we stepped in and covered the fees for the children who were most vulnerable, as well as those whose parents couldn’t afford to pay.

We work with passion

Togo is known for its palm-lined beaches and hilltop villages. A silver piece of land which finds itself hidden on the topographical map between the countries Ghana, Burkina Faso and Benin Republic.

Each day as I go about building my business in Togo, I come across dire and desperate situations. With my brand, Victoria Grace Fashion, I am committed to make a difference one person at a time. Today, many have come along this journey with me. I believe together we can put that smile on a face, even if it is one person at a time. We search for sustainable solutions which include humane dignity and care, and find ways to reintegrate them back into society.

Our model is to work closely with the youth, handing down our skills and experience to leave a blueprint that will outlast us. This is the story and beginning of Victoria Grace Foundation’s work in Togo West Africa.

Thanks to Jennifer's involvement and the care this woman received at the centre, she was able to reintegrate the society.

“We are very thankful for the head teacher and Jennifer Rönne from Victoria Grace Fashion to be so involved in that project and for giving us a very good feeling that the money really reaches the children and gives them the chance to learn. Jennifer Rönne knows the school very well…"
