SUPPORT THE CAUSES OF MARGINALIZED PEOPLE
ENABLE THEM SHAPE THEIR BRIGHT FUTURE
Legal Status: Nonprofit, community-based, humanitarian, and diaspora-led organization registered in the United States of America, with international coordination in South Sudan and the Nuba Mountains Region (Sudan).
Who we are and why we exist
The Nuba Mountains International Association was founded by indigenous Nuba people living in the diaspora, particularly in the United States, with a deep commitment to supporting their communities both abroad and in the Nuba Mountains Region of Sudan.
The organization was established in response to decades of conflict, marginalization, and displacement that have affected the Nuba people — leading to poverty, illiteracy, poor healthcare, and loss of cultural identity.
NMIA emerged as a unifying platform to mobilize Nuba professionals, youth, women, and community leaders toward rebuilding their society through education, empowerment, advocacy, and humanitarian action.
Our guiding purpose and direction
To unify and empower the Nuba people through sustainable development, education, health, and peacebuilding — transforming struggle into strength and creating a bright future for generations to come.
To mobilize, connect, and empower Nuba communities in the diaspora and homeland by promoting education, health, livelihoods, peace, human rights, and cultural preservation — working collectively for dignity, justice, and development.
NMIA is guided by the following principles
Building bridges among all Nuba communities regardless of religion or tribe.
Ensuring transparency, honesty, and responsibility in all actions.
Serving humanity with compassion and selflessness.
Preserving the diverse identity and heritage of the Nuba people.
Promoting forgiveness, coexistence, and unity.
