HUMANITARIAN INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION

Humanitarian International Voluntary Association is a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) established in 2008 whose core mandate is to empower marginalised communities, youth and women, vulnerable & disadvantaged children, and persons with special needs within the pastoralists’ North-Eastern region. The formation of the organisation was prompted by socio-economic and cultural challenges that face the 21st century amidst Violent Extremism, technological advancement, HIV/AIDS, global climatic changes, and political dispensation of the new world order. HIVA was formed by a group of conscious persons who have witnessed, exposed and experienced the real challenges of development dynamics and hence would like to share the same with other likeminded partners and individuals and make real change by overcoming the myriad social injustices that affect humanity. HIVA seeks to promote human interaction, sharing, understanding, peace, social solidarity, empowerment and love between human beings and their environment through voluntarism and service to humanity.
