Marathi Aai Initiative

Marathi Aai Initiative (MAI) is dedicated to building a supportive and inclusive community for Marathi-raised mothers living outside India, primarily in North America. Our mission is to preserve and celebrate Marathi culture, language, and values while empowering mothers through shared experiences, cultural connection, and mutual support. We strive to create a nurturing environment where members and their families can thrive, stay rooted in their heritage, build lasting friendships and foster a deep sense of belonging in their adopted communities.

What Clients Say

"I was added to the group in my second trimester of pregnancy. Since then it has been a very good source of information. Other Aai’s on the group have been very helpful throughout the pregnancy and the newborn phase. It’s also a safe space where we get to read experiences and share ours. You realize you’re not alone and that itself gives you some reassurance that you’re doing the right thing.

It’s also a great place to socialize with other moms and make new friends who share the same culture as you. Overall I’m very glad to be a part of this group!"
