MIVA Austria

Mobility is shareable.

Our goal is to support people in the poorest regions of the world with mobility. Mobility is multifaceted: It secures livelihoods, enables education, gives people hope, helps overcome distances and saves lives in emergencies. Our idea of solidarity is therefore "Mobility is shareable".

MIVA AUSTRIA

About us

MIVA Austria is a relief organisation of the Catholic Church. Its task is to finance means of transport of all kinds for use in missions and development aid: cars or off-road vehicles, motorbikes, bicycles, tractors, agricultural equipment, and occasionally also boats, mobility aids or pack animals, depending on requirements.

MIVA is based at ChristophorusHaus in Stadl-Paura, Upper Austria. It is an innovative passive house designed as a house where human interaction and dialogue take place. In addition to MIVA, it is also home to MIVA's procurement company (BBM), a non-profit service provider, procurement company and trading partner for dedicated people in the poorest countries of the world.
