Fighting diseases of poverty

How we work

How we work

Whether in Africa, Asia or Latin America, our work falls into five broad areas:

Focus on people

We help people to change their lives in addition to addressing the effects of disease.

Provision of services

LEPRA Health in Action works directly with individuals and communities, ensuring that those most in need can access the health services they require.

Catalyst, coordinator, collaborator

As well as direct service provision through local staff, we also support national and local NGOs, and work with governments, international NGOs, communities and other change agents to achieve the greatest possible impact. We support national and local government programmes both financially and technically. We collaborate wit ha wide range of international health and development organisations and with funding agencies.

Impact

We regularly monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our interventions and make changes where appropriate.

Accountability

We ensure that our supporters, partners, counterparts and beneficiaries are informed and involved in appropriate ways.
