Sunsar Maya is a non-profit working in Nepal to improve the livelihoods of disadvantaged children and women through community-based services. They directly serve 200+ children and women in 3 community centers at Jorpati, Mahalaxmi, and Machhegaun. Four AllPeopleBeHappy Project Grants were awarded to Sunsar Maya in 2018 to 2022 for its SuMa Women’s Literacy Program. This program teaches approximately 100 women each year conversation and written English, Nepali, and mathematics. By building the women’s literacy and numeracy skills in their native language, they can more easily manage daily tasks, such as shopping and paying bills, and perform life skills such as navigating government offices, using a bank account, and participating more fully in their communities. In 2023, a fifth Project Grant of $12,500 is being used to support the salaries of Sunsar Maya’s 12 full-time teachers and 8 part-time teachers.
