INF New Zealand is spon­sor­ing a leprosy screen­ing camp in one of Nepal’s most remote and least acces­si­ble dis­tricts. This will support early detec­tion, pre­ven­tion and treat­ment in an area where health­care access is …

Medical Care seeks to help many hun­dreds of Nepalis with con­di­tions such as bone infec­tions, heart con­di­tions, spinal cord injuries, eye prob­lems and cere­bral palsy who cannot afford to pay for their medical treatment.

Bajura is one of the remote moun­tain­ous dis­tricts in the western part of the country. The dis­trict is eco­log­i­cally sen­si­tive to climate change. A major­ity of the farmers rely on rain­fall to grow crops, and the dis­trict suffers from extreme weather conditions. 

The medical work of INF is serving more than 50,000 people yearly with treat­ment, oper­a­tions, general health­care, com­mu­nity ser­vices and medical camps. Green Pas­tures Hos­pi­tal (GPH) in Pokhara serves about 18,000 patients and remains the biggest leprosy and reha­bil­i­ta­tion hos­pi­tal in Nepal’s Western Regions. 

This project seeks to increase access to justice, eco­nomic empow­er­ment and par­tic­i­pa­tion in deci­­sion-making to enhance the prospects of all women and encour­age them to par­tic­i­pate freely and live with dignity in society.

This project pro­vides fuel effi­cient stoves to help decrease defor­esta­tion, pro­vides girls with time to go to school (as they spend less time col­lect­ing fire­wood), and reduces indoor smoke and health related impacts.
