Our prime objectives are to cure leprosy affected people particularly beggars and rehabilitate those cured leprosy cases as well as polio affected, other disabled persons and destitutes including under privelleged people of Nepal.

We also look after old aged people who have nowhere and no one to turn to by providing them medical services, food, accommodation and necessary clothing.

Our prime target group are; leprosy affected beggars, leprosy affected social outcast, polio affected people, old aged people without a home or relatives, any kind of disabled persons, destitutes and under privelleged women of the society.

We have many stories to share about the background of our beneficiaries. For instance we have a lady known as “Tiger Lady”, the real name however, is Kalimaya. Tiger Lady when diagnosed as leprosy was kicked out of home and taken to a jungle by her own husband and sons with a sack of rice only to live for ever. In her search for a shelter she roamed around jungle and finally found a “den” as her new home. As the darkness grew a tiger with 2 cubs approached the den and upon seeing a stranger occupying their den left the area quietly. Days and months passed for Kalimaya living in the den. The tiger visited the lady in a regular basis and eventually they were becoming friends.
Eventually the villagers knew about her presence and she was referred to Sewa Kendra (a medical and elderly home unit) where she was treated and now enjoys a life as a cook.

The interesting part is that after several years in Sewa Kendra she is occasionally visited by her family members but Kalimaya is determined to remain in Sewa Kendra.

Kul Bahadur Adhikari, a weaver with us ever since our project started, was kicked out of family 34 years before. To everyone’s surprise he has now regular contacts with family members. This was all possible as a result of rehabilitation work of New SADLE.

While Lok Bahadur Chhetri, a polio case now working as a tailor has a completely different story. Lok Bahadur was kicked out of his family when he was only a young boy. He walked for days and months before he eventually reached Kathmandu. He finally found us after begging in the streets for more than 15 years. He is a happily married to Rosha, also a polio case. They have 2 daughters. Whenever Lok Bahadur comes across a beggar, never forgets to suggest; “why don’t you stop begging and start working like me?”
