Why We Walk
For the Women Who Carry Hope and Fear
For some women, a positive pregnancy test brings excitement. For others, it brings fear.
Fear from loss. From high-risk diagnoses. From knowing how quickly hope can become heartbreak. From not knowing how they will afford the care they need.
These are the women Victoria's Smile Foundation meets every day. Women carrying hope and fear at the same time. Women who need more than encouragement. Women who need someone to stand beside them.
The Foundation
Born From Lived Experience
Victoria's Smile Foundation was not created in a boardroom. It was born from lived experience.
After years of infertility, multiple pregnancy losses and a life-threatening experience that resulted in intensive care, our Founder Sade Adesakin made a promise: if she came through that season, she would spend her life helping other women facing similar challenges.
What began as one woman's journey has become a growing organisation supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
How Your Support Reaches Women
Three Pathways of Care
Safe Births Initiative
We deliver maternal health education, community outreach and health screenings in underserved communities. We meet women where they are, in churches, schools and community spaces where access to maternal health support is often limited.
Smile Motherhood Programme
For women whose pregnancies need more than encouragement, the Smile Motherhood Programme provides medical, emotional and practical support from pregnancy through delivery and into the postnatal period.
Pregnancy Loss Support
Not every pregnancy journey ends as hoped. For families navigating loss, we provide support, community and compassion during some of life's most difficult moments.
A Message From Our Founder
I Know What It Feels Like to Need Hope
Years ago, I was the woman desperately hoping for good news. I was navigating loss and wondering whether motherhood would ever happen for me.
Today I have the privilege of supporting women walking similar paths. Victoria's Smile Foundation exists because I know what it feels like to need hope. And I know how life-changing it is when someone chooses to stand beside you.
Miles for Mothers is our opportunity to do exactly that.
