IDENTITY
Oxford Dictionary defines Identity as- the fact of being who or what a person or thing is, a close similarity or affinity, a transformation that leaves an object unchanged. To establish or indicate who or what (someone or something) is. These identities are either obtained or assigned by family, society and civil organization. Maitri works to restores the Identity when deprived of or redefine the identity, which marginalizes people.
DIGNITY
We all recognize that we all have a deep, human desire to be treated as something of value. When we indicate that feeling , the expression to another, it is called Dignity for the said person. Maitri commits treating every individual with identity, dignity and respect.
RESPECT
Showing respect to someone means you act in a way that shows you care about his or her feelings and well-being. Showing respect for others include things like not calling people mean names, treating people with courtesy, caring enough about yourself that you don't do things you know can hurt you. Maitri believes in working with and for respect for every person.
