HR & People Operations Volunteer

Nuvia Global Foundation is an international nonprofit registered in the U.S. and France, preparing to launch its first operations in Cameroon in 2026. Our work focuses on trauma-informed care, emotional healing, and educational empowerment for girls and young women (ages 13–25).

We partner with hospitals, schools, and community organizations to provide

• Healing Circles - small-group sessions led by trained facilitators to help participants process trauma and rebuild self-esteem.
• Workshops & Mentorship - practical education in communication, leadership, and emotional wellness.
• Dignity & Essentials Kits - hygiene, clothing, and school supplies to restore dignity and support reintegration.
• Education Sponsorships - scholarships and mentorship to help girls return to school or vocational training.
  
  

Nuvia’s long-term vision is to establish healing centers across Africa, starting in Cameroon, then expanding to Kenya, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Rwanda, and Senegal - while fostering partnerships with the French and global diaspora.

We believe that healing is the foundation of empowerment. Our mission is not only to restore what was lost but to help every girl see that her story is not over.
