 MAITREE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
4 Kady Lane, Kendall Park, NJ 08824, USA

History

Maitree was born on May 3, 2022 (Bengali 19th Baishakh 1429) on the auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya. We are a nascent but vibrant community, founded on the core principles of philanthropic pursuit, transparency, inclusivity and friendliness. So, we have just begun and with the blessings of Maa Durga, we will strive with purpose and evolve – Together. Maitree treasures the cultural values, traditions, literature and cuisine of our beloved motherland. We aim to uphold these aspects of our identity and proudly pass on the same to generations to come. We come from the land of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Tagore, Kazi Nazrul, Mother Teresa and many other illustrious citizens. Their teachings and philosophies will always guide us to lead to a greater good and create a harmonious society. We, at Maitree, therefore, welcome all who share these values and traditions to be part of our community.
