We do not consider ourselves as a company that sells products, because NIVO is not a company. Our goal is to offer an opportunity for people to be real and comfortable in their actions.

What makes us different from others is that we are not in a competing business. NIVO is you, meaning you are a valuable part of this movement. It is a brand, a very powerful brand that cannot be traded for money. NIVO is the brand within you that people don’t get to see every day.

We share a fundamental belief that everything that comes from the heart is real. Whether being authentic to a loved one, doing anything to the best of your ability, or simply reminding yourself that you are who you are, making it real is key to successfully achieving that. That is why at NIVO there is no manager or CEO. We are simply here to bring out what your heart can do; to bring out the real you.

Our other focus back home in Africa is to offer opportunities for economic development and to make many things accessible to our brothers and sisters in the comfort of their home. That is why we aim to provide access to music, movies, and information. We also encourage those who are more fortunate to post things they may not need, at nivomall.com that may benefit the less privileged.

Because we understand the cost of education, Nivo encourages students to sell and buy used books at nivomall.com for free. We, however, encourage that financial and material exchanges should take place in public places (e.g. gas stations) during the day.

Our idea for folks to be able to buy bus tickets online in Africa is aimed at saving people money and time. We believe that the time and money spent to go buy a bus ticket way before your travel time, or the time spent waiting for the bus to be full before departure is economic waste. With internet access, at the comfort of your home or at a neighbor’s place, a few blocks from you home, you can choose the date and time you would like to travel. Travel agencies will guarantee timely departures to be in our database.

We will also work with airline companies to stop their abuses in the African continent. You don’t need to buy a round trip plane ticket if you don’t have to. Airline companies in our database will have to “Make It Real” by putting people ahead of profits. Also, we believe you do not have to walk under the sun looking for a good apartment, land, car, hotel, business addresses and phone numbers when you can get all that information in the comfort of your chair. People and businesses can post everything you need to know, including pictures and phone numbers at nivomall.com.

Like every other child, we will start by crawling, but these are little steps that can move us forward.

Nivo, Make It Real!
