Mission Statement
Sunsar Maya builds pathways out of poverty by improving the livelihoods of vulnerable children and women through holistic, community-based services.
Description
Working in Kathmandu, with a strong network of collaborators, service providers, and local stakeholders, Sunsar Maya operates out of a multi-function community center and currently includes: an after-school tutoring and enrichment program for orphaned and endangered children; women’s literacy classes that build reading, math, and life skills; a women’s trade skills and income generation program; and a library and computer lab resource center for the entire community. 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. Our goal is to create a community that breaks the cycle of poverty by investing in and supporting the well-being and success of its most vulnerable members.
