From Trauma to Joy: the transformative power of God’s love for leprosy patients.

Jaipunisha’s story is one filled with heartache, pain, and loneliness. At the young age of 25, she was diagnosed with leprosy, one of the most stigmatized diseases in the world. Her family and community turned their backs on her, leaving her to live in isolation and despair.

But in 2010, something miraculous happened. Embrace a Village began working in Kumbakonam – Jaipunisha’s life was forever changed. The transformative power of God touched her soul, and she began attending their prayer services regularly. Despite the pain and suffering she had endured, Jaipunisha found the strength to live a joyful life.

Now, in her 70s, Jaipunisha is a different person. Her face radiates joy and happiness, a testament to the healing power of faith and love. But Embrace a Village needs your help to continue providing support to people like Jaipunisha. Your donations help us provide care and comfort to those in need – your support makes all the difference.
