Chhita at INF's Jumla clinic

Chhita Tiruwa, 18, comes from Kundari village in Nepal's remote, impoverished Jumla District. She was diagnosed with leprosy at the INF clinic in Jumla and suffers from recurrent nerve inflammation. If the inflammation occurs, Chhita needs special care and treatment from INF. If Chhita was unable to be admitted as an inpatient at a facility like the INF clinic, then the consequences could be fatal. Many INF leprosy patients like Chhita have benefited from funds raised by the INF gift catalogue, where one of the 34 gifts available is 'Food for a patient for a week'. For just US$12 / €8 / £7 / AU$14 / NZ$18 you can help INF provide meals with vegetables, meat and Nepali tea for a week to patients like Chhita who are unable to pay themselves.
