Steve Waugh Foundation, Australia has been
supporting leprosy affected youth at Udayan for many years now, but is now scaling its
reach! In Year 2 of the Steve Waugh Foundation Scholarship Program, supporting youth from the
Leprosy Colonies, 16 youth were enrolled this quarter, in various fields of
Vocational Training as per their eligibility and choice.
5 young adults enrolled in a Diploma in
Medical Laboratory Technology, 4 youths will be enrolled for Hotel Management,
4 youth in General Nursing and Midwifery & 3 youngsters will undergo a
Diploma in Beautician course.
Additionally, 17 Udayan children who passed
Higher Secondary Examination in 2022 took admission in Vocational Training, and
have completed their registration for Nursing at MAKAUT University and the Chattisgarh
Nursing Council under the support of SBI Life Insurance.
Vocational & Professional courses such

affected youths to lift their families out of poverty.
