Thank You For Choosing to Give.
Several areas of our work require urgent attention.
Here’s how your gift could impact those living with leprosy
Feeding little hearts and minds through after school tutoring
When families are ostracized from society, it’s no surprise that a child’s education and their prospects for the future suffer. Without a good education, they often continue living in the colonies and wind up raising families of their own there. We hope that success in school will lead to better opportunities to integrate into mainstream society and break the cycle of poverty that can span generations.
Important progress is being made in meaningful ways.
People affected by leprosy often miss out on education and a sense of community because of stigma. That’s why we offer weekly opportunities for connection, learning, and mutual support. We’re also very happy to report that our small group programs are thriving.
Our new medical van is reaching rural areas like never before
Patients living in remote villages often endure long commutes to access primary health care. It’s exhausting, and overwhelming, so many avoid seeking treatment altogether. That’s why we are so excited about our newly equipped medical van! Our staff now serves even more patients and provides free ulcer care along with custom-made footwear options to improve their quality of life.
Hunger is a real issue – here’s how we’re combating it
Food and nutritional education programs play a critical role. Children who are part of our after-school tutoring program receive the best, and possibly only meal of their day at our facility. We also offer a two-week supply of rice to families we serve to help supplement their monthly groceries.
The dollar goes a long way in India.
All donations are tax-deductible and help fund essential programs and care for those we serve in India.
