Our efforts in Nepal continue to grow substantially, in partnership with Sunsar Maya, a local NGO on the ground providing educational opportunities to better the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children in Nepal. With their support we were able to provide life-saving food and supplies to families living in extreme poverty during the COVID-19 pandemic, doubling our impact and helping with initiatives to decrease the struggles 3 million households have faced this past year.
Essentially, Moms Against Poverty was able to provide a monthly distribution of food, cooking oil, and cleaning supplies to 352 men, women, and children during the months of October, November, and December in the communities of Mahalaxmi and Jorpati. This ensured that every Sunsar Maya student (after-school and women’s literacy) and their family received sufficient food and supplies for each member to receive three meals a day, every day, and every month.
Over the course of 3 months we were able to accomplish:
| Families | Adults | Children | Total Individuals | |
| Total MAP Distribution in October | 78 + 2 orphanages | 150 | 179 | 329 |
| Total MAP Distribution in November | 79 + 1 orphanage | 148 | 167 | 315 |
| Total MAP Distribution in December | 79 + 1 orphanage | 154 | 170 | 324 |
With great excitement, we have identified a second orphanage needing our support in October and were able to distribute food and supplies to 14 children and 2 adults through the MAP grant. Thus, highlighting the natural intersection of our programs (education, hygiene, food, and shelter) with one another. Managing to bring our efforts together, and impacting the lives of those who may need assistance in more ways than one.
While we embark on the new year, we mark the end of Sunsar Maya’s emergency food relief efforts, all while our commitment to these communities continues. This would not be possible without the hard work and passion of our team and supporters. We hope you find our initiatives impactful and would truly appreciate your continued support through our monthly giving program linked below, in order to maintain a recurring stream of provisions for those in Nepal needing our attention.
