Maitri Voices

Stories from girls and young women growing through Maitri's mentorship and leadership ecosystem.
Saloni Singh

"I am Saloni Singh and I am a part of Outreach and Content team as a Co-Lead at Maitri.This community has given me an opportunity to sharpen my leadership skills and take more responsibility and ownership. It was through Maitri that I got to know about Udayan shalini program and then my seniors at Maitri prepared me for success to achieve the prestigious scholarship. I also got published in a children's newspaper and understood that my voice matters"

— Saloni Singh, Udayan Shalini Fellow, 2024, Alumna GGSSS, Kalkaji

"Through Maitri, I got to know about OBA Early Childhood program. I joined the pilot batch through which I got trained on this unique program. The skills I learnt through the program have empowered me for employment opportunities in the field of early childhood care. I am grateful to the community for opening this path for me."

What we believe

Maitri builds from the inside out. Before we teach skills, we build the foundation that makes skills stick.

Confidence before competence

A girl who believes she belongs in the room will learn what she needs once she is there. We start with self-belief.

Identity before ambition

Knowing who you are grounds every decision that follows. We help girls articulate their story before choosing a direction.

Voice before visibility

Speaking up in a safe circle precedes speaking up in the world. We create spaces where every voice is rehearsed and heard.

Community before competition

Girls who lift each other go further than girls who compete alone. We build sisterhood that outlasts any single program.

Milestones
