In response to encountering this appalling suffering, Maggie Burgess,
an ex-nurse from Canada, established Promise Nepal in 2000. Since then
she has set up the Sewa Kendra project which;
• Cured 862 last year
• Has a free general out-patient clinic
treating approximately 17,000 patients a year;
• Has a facility for 26 in-patients -
10 of whom are permanent residents;
• A workshop facility providing work and income for 1800
cured patients who can not return home;
• Has a nursery and day-care center with scholarship
schemes for children of workers in the workshop.
