OUR FOUNDER

Victor Mbaba’s unwavering commitment to children of African descent is deeply rooted in his personal journey of resilience and hope. Born in Nigeria during a time of civil unrest, Victor’s life was forever altered by the Biafran War. In 1967, his village was bombed, leaving him orphaned, homeless, and without access to education for three years. The hardships he faced as a child  fueled a lifelong passion for creating a brighter future for children in Africa and beyond.

Despite the devastation of his early years, Victor turned his experiences into a powerful sense of purpose. He embodies the spirit of making something out of nothing, and with determination, he set out on a mission to ensure that no child would have to endure what he had. His drive to change lives led to the founding of Africa’s Children’s Fund (ACF) in 1993, a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, Georgia.

Over the past three decades, Victor’s leadership has transformed ACF into a beacon of hope for vulnerable children and families. His deep understanding of the struggles facing African communities, both domestically and internationally, combined with his compassionate approach to problem-solving have guided ACF’s work in providing essential support for food, housing, and education.

Victor’s vision is simple yet profound: every child deserves a chance to thrive. Through ACF, he has dedicated his life to nurturing and empowering children everywhere he can reach them. His story is one of perseverance, service, and an unyielding belief that, with the right support, every child can achieve their fullest potential.
