Nova has formed a network of relations with:
1 Communities
2 Industries
3 Academic Institutions
4 Government Departments
5 Churches
6 Carbon trading organisations
Although Nova does not belong to any of these, we strive to integrate
their contributions to the benefit of low-income households in Southern
Africa
Nova usually forms steering committees before any work is done in an area. This usually includes community leaders as well as the department of that municipality responsible for community affairs.
Nova is a non-profit organisation, therefore all the financial support from large and small industries are used to pursue our vision of a Healthy Household Culture in Southern Africa. We are extremely grateful for all the support we receive from industries and we are convinced that the best way to alleviate poverty is to invest in and to empower the households.
In the past we have worked closely with a number of industries
