MaitryManch lays a lot of emphasis on training and enlightening local leaders. These leaders are not only capable of igniting social and political change, but they can also help close the gap between the community and service providers. They are also essential for including the entire community in decision-making and accepting accountability for sustaining health, social, and economic advancements. Above all, these leaders are taught to defend the rights of all community members and make sure that everyone receives the benefits and medical care to which they are entitled.
