Leprosy

Leprosy comes with its stigmas, something that he vowed to fight.

The move should help acid attack victims should they encounter discrimination.

The state, usually in the news for terrorist activity and civil unrest, is estimated to have only nine deaths per 1000 live births, according to the health ministry report.

G.P Talwar, the founder-director of National Institute of Immunology (NII), has developed the first-of-its-kind, exclusive and indigenous leprosy vaccine in India.

Nicky Leif, a 52-year-old resident of London set off on a 500 km cycle ride across the state of Madhya Pradesh to raise money for victims of Leprosy. The ride was a tribute to her friend Liz Kennedy. She was accompanied by ten other cyclists on her noble journey.

From helping those abandoned by family and friends due to leprosy to making people with disability independent, WORTH Trust is covering all grounds to make life a better place for them. And this September they complete 50 years of dedication and hard work. This is their story of compassion and love and how they are making little differences in the lives of those who need it the most.

There are several people our society does not accept willingly. The leprosy-affected and the mentally handicapped are some of them. Imagine an entire village dedicated to them, where they can live freely and without prejudice, and receive loving care and attention from dedicated staff. This is what Sahyog Kushtha Yagna Trust in Gujarat attempts to achieve.
