Do You Know?

Leprosy is an age-old disease, described in the literature of ancient civilizations. Throughout history, people afflicted have often been ostracized by their communities and families.
Although leprosy was managed differently in the past, the first breakthrough occurred in the 1940s with the development of the medicine dapsone. The duration of treatment lasted many years, often a lifetime, making compliance difficult. In the 1960s, M. leprae started to develop resistance to dapsone, the only known anti-leprosy medicine at that time. In the early 1960s, rifampicin and clofazimine were discovered and subsequently added to the treatment regimen, which was later labeled as multidrug therapy (MDT).

We express our never-ending gratitude to all our Sponsors, Volunteers, and Donators.
We wouldn't have been able to achieve this much without your love, donations, contributions, and volunteer efforts. We Thank you all so much for your support.
We appeal that you keep the donations coming in so we can spread these same wonderful projects to millions of Youths in Africa and around the world

Let us not be afraid to be humble, small, helpless to prove our love for God. The cup of water you give the sick, the way you lift a dying man, the way you feed a baby, the way you teach a dull child, the way you give medicine to a sufferer of leprosy, the joy with which you smile at your own at home - all this is God's love in the world today.
