Founder - Vicky Kitcher Foundation | Advocate | Entrepreneur
Victoria Kitcher, affectionately known as Vicky Billions, embodies a spirit of compassion and ambition that transcends boundaries. Rooted in the teachings of her grandmother, who instilled in her the values of love and kindness, Vicky's journey unfolds against the vibrant backdrop of Labadi, Ghana. Driven by an unwavering commitment to humanity, Vicky established the Vicky Kitcher Foundation, an NGO dedicated to extending a helping hand to the most vulnerable members of society. With a heart brimming with empathy, she spearheads initiatives such as feeding over 500 children and homeless individuals on the streets of Accra, a testament to her boundless generosity and unwavering dedication to uplifting others. But Victoria knew that the journey didn't end there. There was a new chapter waiting to unfold—a chapter of Mental Health Magic. With a twinkle in her eye and a passion in her heart, she extended an invitation to all who would listen, urging them to embark on a journey to mend hearts and minds. In this new adventure, Victoria envisioned a world where access to mental health services was not a luxury but a right. Through the Mental Health program of her foundation, she aimed to provide free, in-school counseling and group therapy sessions for adolescents, offering them a safe space to heal and grow. But Victoria knew that true change went beyond just providing services. It required breaking down barriers and reducing stigma. That's why she also introduced a mental health curriculum, designed to raise awareness and foster understanding among teachers, community leaders, and healers alike.
With unwavering determination, Victoria set out to achieve her project goals. She forged partnerships with local schools, recruited a team of dedicated mental health professionals and volunteers, and tailored counseling sessions to meet the unique needs of each participant. But perhaps the most important aspect of Victoria's journey was the community she built along the way. Through open dialogue and peer support, she created a supportive environment where adolescents facing mental health challenges could find solace and strength. "Today, I extend an invitation to a new chapter: Mental Health Magic. Let's embark on a journey to mend hearts and minds. Your support is our catalyst, and together, we'll orchestrate a symphony of change! #VKFJourney #HeartfeltChange"
