Leprosy Management & Care
Help Us Detect Early, Treat Better, Heal Faster
“I couldn’t walk or do things on my own because of my old age, disabilities, and ulcers. I felt alone and had to depend on others. With some care and support, I feel a little better now. I can sit outside, talk to people, and feel a sense of hope.” — Rani Bawari, Leprosy Survivor
Rehabilitation
Give Hope. Support Livelihoods. Rebuild Futures
“Leprosy made my life hard—I lost work and faced shame. But the organization helped me get treatment and supported me to open my own shop. Today, I’m financially independent and confident again. I’m proud of how far I’ve come.”— Sajin Vasanth, Leprosy Survivor
Inclusion
Stand Against Stigma. Stand for Inclusion
“I never imagined participating in such a large event. Not even in my dreams did I think I would ever attend something like this. To go to such a big venue and speak about my feelings in front of so many people — this is a huge moment for me. I am sincerely thankful for making this possible.”— Triloki Yadav, Community Leader
Lobbying and Policy Dialogue
Join Us for a Leprosy-Free India
“It’s the efforts and dedication of people like you that make the world a better place”.— Shyam Prabhu, Director, Banyan Tree Advisors
