Message from Executive Director
The New Beginnings at the NLR Nepal
Dear Partners, Friends, well-wishers, and Co-workers,
I am incredibly humbled and honoured to join the NLR Nepal as the new Executive Director. As I step into this role, I am acutely aware of the opportunities and challenges being faced by the communities we serve.
Across the nation, persons affected by the leprosy, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation has prevented them from realizing their full potentials – are struggling to get appropriate treatment, good jobs, gain access to health care or receive a quality education. And unfortunately, too many serving organizations are seeing significant increases in demand for vital services while facing a combination of challenges including restricted program funding, lack of liquidity, weak infrastructure and systems, overworked and a reliance of funding that does not cover full costs.
