REHABILITATION OF LEPROSY AFFLICTED, DISABLED AND OTHER SUPPORTLESS PERSONS:


Leprosy patients are the most crippled even amongst the cripples; they are treated as untouchable, neglected by relatives and ostracized by the society. They live life as in hell, living on pavements or in huts, waiting for the end. To give them human dignity, security and love is a stupendous task. Sahyog Kushthayagna Trust has taken up this task. Some of them are occupied in work like spinning, weaving, office work, nursing the mentally retarded and children, hospital, kitchen etc.

Leprosy afflicted persons and their relatives, Disabled persons, Blind persons, HIV patients, Persons with Social Problems are taken care of here. They come from all over India.

Some of them are occupied in work like; spinning, office work, nursing the Mentally Retarded, Schizophrenic Persons and children, Hospital, Kitchen, etc.
