Mission Statement
Sunsar Maya's mission is to help vulnerable women and children in Nepal build pathways out of poverty through holistic, community-based programs that promote education, mental health, and physical wellbeing. We do this through a multi-pronged approach that addresses both the short- and long-term needs of a population that suffers from severe social and economic barriers. We work alongside a strong network of collaborators, service providers, and local stakeholders to provide programs that educate and empower communities.
About This Cause
Working in Nepal, Sunsar Maya operates multi-functional community centers that includes: an after-school tutoring and enrichment program for orphaned and endangered children; women’s literacy classes that build reading, math, and life skills; and a library and computer lab resource center. These services make up a multi-pronged and sustainable approach to addressing both the short- and long-term needs of a population that suffers from severe social and economic barriers. In addition, our teacher training program provides much-needed resources for educators in the rural villages of Nepal. In addition to our three core programs, Sunsar Maya provides emergency aid to our students and the communities in which we work when disaster strikes. In 2015, in response to devastating earthquakes and subsequent aftershocks, we provided food and supplies to 2,000 families, distributed emergency supplies, and helped rebuild schools and homes. When the COVID-19 pandemic reached Nepal, we provided bi-weekly food and supplies to our communities. We also shifted our programming to provide virtual and at-home learning options for students, mental health therapy sessions via phone, and continued our regular medical and dental camps.
