what we do

Sunsar Maya was born out of a desire to help Nepali women and children break the cycle of generational poverty.

Established in 2011, Sunsar Maya was founded by four individuals who met and became friends while volunteering in Nepal. They were deeply moved by the kindness and generosity of the Nepali people, particularly the children they met. After witnessing the difficulties so many Nepalis face on a daily basis, they resolved to make a positive difference in their lives.

Our work is divided into four key pillars: After School Program (ASP), Women’s Literacy Program (WLP), Teacher Training, and Emergency Relief.
