About Taiwan Mother Hen Society
Taiwan Mother Hen Society believes that education is about more than acquiring knowledge. It also gives people opportunities to discover their abilities, explore new possibilities, and shape their own futures.
Beginning with a commitment to children’s education, the Society works alongside schools, communities, and local partners in Nepal through learning, continued engagement, and shared action.
Our Beginnings
Taiwan Mother Hen Society grew from an initiative led by Sayalay Karuna and a group of Taiwanese citizens who cared deeply about education.
The Society’s bylaws were adopted at its first general meeting on December 19, 2021, and were subsequently acknowledged by Taiwan’s Ministry of the Interior in 2022.
In a historical letter written in November 2022, the Society’s then-president described a founding aspiration: rather than relying only on short-term assistance, education and practical skills could help children develop the ability to make choices and build lives of their own.
Over time, our activities have developed through cooperation with schools, volunteers, and community organizations, allowing us to explore ways of supporting people that respond more closely to local needs.
From Belief to Action
Our practical work began with children’s education and learning support. It has gradually expanded to include digital learning, women’s empowerment, community health, and cultural exchange.
Each area involves different activities and forms of cooperation. We believe it is important to understand local needs, document what has been carried out, and reflect on what can be improved.
Working Alongside Local Partners
The Society’s work depends on many people, including schools and teachers in Nepal, community organizations, volunteers, and supporters from different backgrounds.
We hope to build relationships that extend beyond individual activities and create opportunities for continued learning and cooperation.
Organization and Team
Taiwan Mother Hen Society is a nonprofit, public-benefit social association established in Taiwan. Its governance and activities are supported by its elected leadership, organizational team, volunteers, and collaborating partners.

What We Believe
Education Takes Time
Learning grows through encouragement, curiosity, and opportunities to try new things.
We hope to support environments where children can learn, discover their interests, and access experiences that may otherwise be difficult to reach.
Respect Comes First
Every community has its own history, culture, knowledge, and priorities.
Meaningful international cooperation begins with listening, understanding local perspectives, and recognizing the strengths already present within a community.
Learning Goes Both Ways
Education and exchange are not one-way acts of giving.
Through classrooms, volunteering, traditional crafts, and community activities, we share experiences with our partners while continuing to learn from them.
