About us
Maitri
is a New Delhi-based developmental humanitarian NGO that is committed to
facilitating every individual’s Human Rights, especially the Rights to
Identity, Dignity and Respect. Since 2005, Maitri has worked with over 45,000
individuals on the issues of social and health inequities and public health
concerns through education, community outreach, networking, and legal
advocacy. Maitri work is organized under two main pillars: Violence Against
Women and Migrant Workers. The organization has been addressing the issue of
violence against women (especially in the uniformed forces), running a victim
support and victim to survivor program, and promoting dignity and support for
abandoned elderly widows in Vrindavan (Mathura, India). Our initiatives with
Migrant Workers include facilitating access to Citizenship Rights to ensure
access to basic rights including healthcare to vulnerable migrant populations
like rickshaw pullers and the homeless, and providing educational and
skill-enhancement opportunities for underserved children and women
respectively. We also run an Integrated Counseling and Testing Center (ICTC)
for HIV/AIDS.
