Safe shelter
Street-connected children find a safe place to live, sleep, and feel at home — protected from abuse, exploitation, and neglect.
A safe haven for vulnerable children
We protect street-connected children and help them rebuild their lives through shelter, education, healthcare, and reintegration support.
Street-Connected Children
Every child deserves safety and a fair chance
Many children in Nigeria grow up on the streets — exposed to abuse, exploitation, and neglect. Nuvia Haven exists to give them a different story: one of shelter, learning, health, and hope.
Our approach is built on care, not charity for its own sake. We meet each child where they are and walk with them toward a safer and more independent future.
How We Help
A path from the street to a brighter future
Four connected ways we support each child on their journey.
Learning and skills
Through scholarships, tutoring, and vocational training, children and young people build a real path toward independence.
Health and nutrition
Access to healthcare, nutritious meals, and clean living conditions that allow children to grow strong and well.
Reintegration
Wherever possible we work with families and communities to help children return to, and stay in, loving care.
Who We Help
Children who need us most
We prioritize the children with the fewest options and the greatest need.
Children who live or work on the street
We meet children where they are, offering them a way out of danger and into care.
Children at risk of exploitation
Abuse, neglect, and exploitation are never acceptable — we act to protect children from harm.
Children denied education
Through scholarships and learning support we reopen doors that poverty had closed.
Children living in difficult conditions
Every child should have food, a place to sleep, and someone who believes in them.
Stand With a Child
You can change a child’s story
A donation can fund shelter, school fees, meals, or medical care. Your support is the difference between the street and a future with hope.
Support Nuvia Haven
Together, we can create safer, more dignified futures.
Every donation, partnership, and hour of volunteering becomes care for a child or an older person in Ibadan. Reach out to us and we will guide you through what is possible.
