How your monthly donation will help:

Nepal

Diagnosed with leprosy in 1982, Krishna was cruelly rejected by people in his village. They refused to talk to him or eat with him. He struggled to make an income as people were unwilling to employ a man with leprosy, and Krishna survived by taking loans from other villagers.

Thanks to the Leprosy Mission, Krishna was cured of the leprosy bacteria before he suffered any permanent damage. With our support, he was able to rebuild his life. He joined a Leprosy Mission supported self-help group and today, he is still an active member of the group. He has been able to buy some buffalo for income and has even been able to send his youngest daughter to school.
