Seva is an important aspect of Hinduism. The act of Seva, is to act selflessly helping others in a variety of ways, without any reward or personal gain.

Last year, CUHCS partnered with Lepra – a charity committed to meeting the needs of people affected by leprosy and ensuring that they are represented at local and government level.

They support people affected leprosy through prevention, diagnosis, disability aids and mental health support. We will also continue our strong partnerships with regional and national governments to ensure that those affected have access to reconstructive surgery, multidrug therapy, eye care and physiotherapy.

Lepra will also continue to offer assistance to those affected lymphatic filariasis through diagnosis, self-care groups and health education programmes. Lepra supports, enables and facilitates those affected lymphatic filariasis and leprosy.
