What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Nutrition
In war-torn communities, hunger robs many children of the chance to grow up healthy and strong. At Novi, we believe that no child should suffer from malnutrition, which can have lifelong consequences. That's why we're dedicated to providing healthy meals for children and families, so that they can thrive physically and emotionally. With proper nutrition, children have the foundation they need to reach their full potential.
Belonging
Novi organizes sports, theater, and social events to bring together communities affected by war and conflict. This strengthens the bond between families, safe adults, and social networks, reducing the risk of mental disorders and promoting healthy social functioning. Belonging is key to reducing the negative effects of war on children.
Education
For children impacted by war and extreme stress, education can become challenging and their behavior may be perceived as difficult. Educating teachers in trauma-informed care (TIC) can help support children's ability to benefit from education. TIC is built on three pillars: Relationship/Presence, Safety, and Affect-Regulation, and training is based on neurobiology and focuses on helping children cope with emotional dysregulation. The training emphasizes the "window of tolerance" as a key tool.
Equipping
We provide specialized training and tools to volunteers, social workers, teachers, therapists, and others who work with children in war torn communities and high-stress environments.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
