MAISHA! a non-profit, voluntary organization, was founded on March 15th in Padua, Italy, by to a group of people who, after visiting Tanzania, wanted to actively envolve themselves in the assistance and maintainance of basic human rights (heathcare, education etc...) for local children.

Maisha's fundamental objectve focuses on contributing and the promotion and development of initiatives aided at supporting the children, by partecipating in the creation of day-care centres, implementing educational programs, and carrying out research to identify and study the origin of the main problems concerning many people in the communities. Furthermore the implementation of new technologies is encouraged for the economic growth and improvement of the developing areas or countries, in collaboration with government agencies or other institutions, both national and international which work in the same field.

The idea of creating a non-profit association for charitable goals originated after several visits of the board members to Tanzania and more specifically in Arusha. They became aware of the difficult situation of many orphans regarding education and healts. During these visits, the board members became acquainted with and eventually set up links with, Malaika Children's Home, a local organization created with the aim of helping abandoned and orphan children, by building a care home in order to provide them with assistance, support and education.
