Our Activities
Food Sponsorship for Inpatients
Free food is provided to the inpatients and their attendants at St. Lukes leprosarium Peikulam.

Clothes for Patients

- Out-patients along with in-patients receive new cloths twice a year. On Founders day (21st May every year) and on Christmas function (1st Saturday of December every year).
- Gently used clothes are also accepted.
Child Support
Today’s children tomorrow’s citizens.
A leprosy’s patient’s child should not become a beggar.
These children should not be referred in future with the disease that affected their parents or grandparents.
The only way to abolish this social stigma is to give a new identity to these children through education.
Education not only gives them a new professional role in the society but also helps make them financially stable. Their quality of life improves.
Children are sponsored throughout their school education by providing school fees, books, uniform, stationary, shoes, exam kit, etc. If need, their families are also supplied with basic necessities.
Scholarships are provided for older children pursuing their higher education.
Children pursuing medical education (Nursing, Lab Technician, Optometry, Pharmacy, etc.) are employed in our hospitals. Children pursuing non-medical courses are helped with placements.
