Our Name
Nuvia comes from “Nu” (New in English) + “Via” (Path in Italian). It reflects our promise to help each participant begin a new chapter of strength, healing, and direction.
Our Story
Founded in the United States as Nuvia Global Foundation, we are preparing to launch our first field programs in Cameroon in 2026. Our long-term goal is to grow responsibly across Africa as resources allow, while remaining rooted in deep community partnerships.
Nuvia partners with local hospitals, schools, faith-based organizations, and grassroots NGOs to identify participants, co-design solutions, and ensure cultural relevance in every location where we work.
Where We Work
Nuvia is rooted in Africa, starting in Cameroon, and growing across the continent to restore hope for girls and young women.
