Origins
[edit | edit source]Maisha was established in 2005 by film director Mira Nair.[5][6] The name Maisha is from a Swahili word that means "life". Maisha aims to seek, identify, nurture, and promote creative talent among children and youth through hands-on skills development programmes in areas such as journalism, film-making, arts appreciation, and organisation and presentation of cultural and creative events.[citation needed]
