Right now, the news from India is devastating. Thousands are dying every day due to coronavirus. Hospitals are overwhelmed, front line staff exhausted and medical supplies are running out.
As the pandemic emphasises the gap between rich and poor, people affected by leprosy need your help more than ever. As some of the most marginalised people in society, most have not been vaccinated. Most can’t afford to travel to hospitals for treatment. Even if they did, they would be last in the queue.
People affected by leprosy deserve to receive vital care like everyone else.
Our front line staff need vital resources and supplies to help those in desperate need. But we need to act fast to save lives. Today, you can help make that happen.
