A LEG TO STAND, A HAND TO FEED 114 ANNUAL REPORT 2 i• NOV 21- OCT 22 REGISTERED CHARITY 1192042
OUR FIRST REPORT WAS DEDICATED TO OUR THREE FRIENDS STEVE LOVELL, TABITAYA, AND DAVID GRAY. ALWAYS STILL IN OUR THOUGHTS, THEIR LEGACY OF SUPPORT CONTINUES.
'WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO US IS THAT PEOPLE ARE CARED FOR, FEEL SAFE, VALUED, RESPECTED AND LOVED. THIS WAS MISSING FOR A COMMUNITY ABANDONED BY THEIR OWN FAMILIES. BUT THE BENEFITS ARE NOT JUST ONE WAY, LINKING WITH THIS GROUP GAVE US A REAL BOOST AND NEW PURPOSE IN LIFE OVER THE HARSH DAYS OF LOCKDOWN AND BEYOND ’ JOHN HALPERN, LIZA TONG, DIETS VERSCHUREN - TRUSTEES LEG TO STAND
BACKGROUND
Who are we? The trustees Liza and Diets were friends with experience in international development, community mobilisation and health and social care. Liza worked with John’s wife Taline at the AIDS Alliance (a UK based INGO). Over dinner one night Liza shared how the group had recently got back in touch with her and described their urgent circumstances. We agreed there and then that we were going to do something about this. Diets, with her care/nursing background, when contacted offered her skills to support. A few meetings later we came up with the idea of forming the charity a Leg to Stand a Hand to Feed, a name chosen by the community themselves. John’s friend Steve (who has since sadly passed away this year) wanted to help too, and set up our website www.alegtostand.com.
First introduced by UK Church to a community of people affected by leprosy living in a commune in Paralakhemundi, India. Distributed health kits, provided wound care awareness and self management, some emergency relief. Thereafter intermittent fundraising efforts for emergency situations
Community struggling under the hardships of very harsh COVID 19 lockdown in India. Unable to access food and medicines they desperately needed. Added burden of massive increase in prices of basic food stuff meant they were close to starvation. Friends in East Sussex formed a support group to fundraise.
Both UK and Paralakhemundi groups meet virtually and establish priorities. Food and essential medication support via Indian NGO partner “Open Ministry Orisha Peace and Evangelical Network”, linked by the UK Church, is provided. Virtual relationships grow and strengthen.
Fundraising, nutritional, health, well-being services and infrastructure provided to improve the quality of life for the Community. The UK group is registered (no. 1192042) as a small NGO – Leg to Stand Hand to Feed, a name chosen by the Community in India
2 years as a registered Charity. Our activities over 21/22 are contained in this report.

WHO ARE OUR BENEFICIARIES?
Our organisation supports sufferers of leprosy, pre and post treatment, their families and dependents in, but not exclusively, the city of Paralakhemundi, Odisha, India.
Between Nov 2021- Oct 2022 we have reached 8 people suffering from the effects of leprosy and 15 family members with services to improve their well being and quality of life. The youngest is less than 1 year and the oldest is 60.
On outreach and community sensitization, we have contributed to the District Health Authority Paralakhemund health promotion campaign, holding leprosy awareness camps in villages (average 100 individuals) up to 90km from Paralakhemundi. We educate communities to the signs and symptoms of leprosy and refer approx 7-10% for follow up investigations at the District Hospital.
