  • The Nepal Leprosy Trust (NLT) is a Christian charity, based in Richmond, London, that provides services to people affected by leprosy in Nepal. It was founded in 1972 by Eileen Lodge, a British nurse, who had emigrated to Nepal in the 1950s to work with the International Nepal Fellowship (INF). The Nepal office headquarters is in Tutepani, Lalitpur-14. In 1996 it established Lalgadh Leprosy Services Centre, a hospital in Lalgadh, Dhanusa district in the southeast part of the country. The Self Care Training Centre run from the hospital is a service for patients who have been damaged by leprosy, as they learn how to live without feeling in their hands or feet or other problems. The NLT Kathmandu office shelters people with leprosy (and other disabled, poor and marginalized), provides them skill-based/capacity-building training, and employs them in its handicraft production project, which produces handicrafts, especially for the export market. NLT is also a member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), WFTO-Asia, and Fair Trade Group (FTG) Nepal. The headquarters staff, led by Kamal Shrestha, the CEO of NLT, also provide a range of support services for the various projects of NLT, especially for the hospital in Lalgadh out of which many projects are run. This involves sourcing equipment and supplies in Kathmandu, liaising with the various government departments involved, organising and hosting NLT Executive Board meetings that have to take place periodically, and overseeing funds coming from abroad, ensuring their safe distribution to the various projects.
