CHAI WALLAH is supporting LEPRA!
क्या
Education!
LEPRA is an organization working to end leprosy and help treat related conditions.
Among all of their services, they are supporting children affected by HIV/AIDS, TB, Leprosy, and Lymphatic filariasis (LF), as well as other marginalized communities, in the form of scholarships. Many kids drop out of school because their families cannot afford their education and lack basic financial resources due to the consequences they face because of disease.
Check out some student stories here.
$160 funds one student’s education for one whole year!
Tuition - $64
Books & Supplies - $40
Uniform & 2 Pairs of Shoes - $56
If you’re in the USA, you can securely donate to LEPRA for their scholarship campaign (through IADHO) here. Make sure to put “Funds for LEPRA scholarship campaign” in the dedication blank!
Thanks to LEPRA, girls like Akshaya who have been affected by leprosy get the early cure they need!
