HAVA Institute produces and scales culturally driven health initiatives across diasporic and global communities.
Founded by leaders from Côte d’Ivoire and the United States, we design, test, and scale culturally grounded health solutions that bridge trust, prevention, and community leadership.
HAVA evokes "breath" and "life" across languages — reflecting our commitment to restoring vitality through culturally rooted public health.
We integrate evidence-based public health frameworks with cultural practice
and lived experience.
