ADOPT A LEPROSY PATIENT’S CHILD
When a
husband discovers that his wife is a ‘leper’,
almost invariably he abandons her and marries
another woman. He abandons not only his
leper-wife but also their children who are his
children as much as they are hers. These
unfortunate kids often become beggars and at
times lepers as well -- a tragedy beyond
words.
St. Luke’s Home for Healthy
Children gives refuge to such children. They
receive food, clothes, shelter, medical care and
education -- all free of cost. After School
Final they are sent for job-oriented technical
training. At the end of the training,
St. Luke’s helps them with their placement.
In short, a
leper-child who once ran the risk of becoming
leper as well as beggar is enabled to blossom
into a productive citizen earning his/her own
livelihood and living with dignity and
supporting the family.
Fifty such children
need support. Each child needs about Rs.500/-
per month.
