About Us

What we do

NLF runs community-based programmes that combine awareness, early screening, referral support, counselling, and on-ground assistance—so families can access help earlier, at lower cost, and with dignity.

Why this work matters

Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension are rising, and they often lead to long-term complications including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent estimates indicate ~138 million adults in India were living with CKD in 2023, with evidence suggesting higher prevalence in rural areas than urban areas, driven by late diagnosis, limited access to care, and low awareness. The Lancet+1

NLF addresses this gap through prevention, early detection, and patient support—while also responding to wider rural needs beyond health.
