Mission Statement & Vision

At Global Village Initiative (GVI), we believe that true empowerment begins with self-sufficiency, cultural preservation, and education beyond colonial frameworks. Our Liberation Model is designed to break cycles of dependency by equipping rural communities with the tools, knowledge, and sustainable resources they need to thrive. From building classrooms and restoring schools to developing a self-reliant curriculum, empowering women in agriculture, and preserving indigenous history, GVI is redefining what it means to invest in the future.

The Nahuce Nasarawa Village Development Initiative is a dynamic non-profit organization dedicated to empowering rural & urban communities in Nigeria through education, sustainable development, and cultural preservation. Focused on uplifting marginalized populations, GVI implements transformative programs, including free schoolhouse lunch initiatives, classroom construction, gardening empowerment for women, poultry farming, and the development of a Liberation Model Curriculum that fosters self-reliance and historical awareness. By preserving the wisdom of elders through oral history projects and promoting economic sustainability, GVI is committed to reducing rural-to-urban migration and creating a future where communities can thrive, educate, and innovate.
