NYIHA translates to border in English. NYIHA MEDIA INC. is a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization registered in New York State. NYIHA MEDIA is listed in the United Nations' CSO Net as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that engages with the United Nations and works at national and international levels. We serve as a film production and digital publishing organization that enriches public understanding of arts and culture, immigration and human rights. We provide a hub for access to global news, film reviews and industry links. Our cultural productions, which are found in theaters, television, and broadband channels, allow viewers from different social formations to come together, leading to better community relations.
NYIHA is an African word for the bush and more broadly the borderlands. The nyiha are an ethnic and linguistic group spanning several countries including southwestern Tanzania and northeastern Zambia.
NYIHA MEDIA promotes global aspirations for human rights beyond borders. By human rights we mean the right to food, shelter, water, health care, education, decent work, free speech, and justice and peace. Can solidarity allow us to think creatively about coming together within or across social formations to transcend the limitations of inherited oppositions between sovereignty and human rights? Global civic engagement might be the best means to achieve long-distance support for multiple citizen actions in different places.
Our Mission Statement
The Corporation is established to:
1) develop public awareness campaigns and courses on diversity and human rights, films and national and international conferences.
2) provide local, global and long-distance communications to promote education and cultural diversity of future leaders;
3) Promote understanding of world cultures through global news, film reviews, new media works and arts and culture. |
