Our Story

Why NAVCA Was Founded

South Sudan faces a protracted humanitarian crisis driven by conflict, displacement, climate shocks, and poverty. Persons with disabilities remain among the most marginalized, often excluded from essential services and decision-making.

NAVCA was established in 2022 to provide inclusive, community-centered interventions that strengthen resilience, protect vulnerable populations, and create opportunities for sustainable development—with disability inclusion at the core of everything we do.
