With Gratitude

The Partners Who
Make It Possible

NELRA's work across Nepal's seven provinces is made possible by the generosity of international organisations, governments, foundations, corporations, and individual donors who share our belief that every person affected by leprosy deserves dignity and a full life.

"NELRA's achievements belong as much to our donors as to our team. Without sustained, long-term financial partnership, the communities we serve would have no voice and no care. We publish this list with deep gratitude and full transparency." — NELRA Executive Committee
