Your kindness will help people affected by leprosy
Santosh was only a child when he was diagnosed with leprosy. He received excellent care and support at Anandaban Hospital, Nepal. Despite his difficult circumstances and having to learn how to walk again on two artificial legs, Santosh is always a beacon of hope and joy.
Thanks to your support Santosh has been able to receive this care, including rehab for his artificial legs, and a brick built house.
Santosh received all this care and help from supporters just like you, who didn't know his name or his need, but moved to respond with generous hearts.
Thank you for your kindness, helping to rebuild lives like Santosh's. Santosh married Manju and a few months ago welcomed a baby daughter to their home. This is great news and we are so glad to share this joy.
This was only possible thanks to your love. But we know there are many more people waiting for help and healing. Walking aids cost £17, but the gift of movement and independence is worth so much more. £24 will cover the cost of finding and curing someone of leprosy, but this is priceless if we can prevent disability and needless suffering.
Together we must extend the reach of leprosy services in Nepal. It costs £283 to recruit and train a health volunteer. With your help, these health volunteers can run skin camps in remote villages, spotting the first signs of leprosy and stopping it in its tracks before this devastating disease can cause disability, discrimination and rejection.
Together we can end leprosy and we help rebuild the lives of those affected.
