Leprosy is still endemic in India and is still widespread among the lower castes, who often live in unsanitary and overcrowded dwellings. Lack of proper education in villages and of proper government field service also contributes to the unchecked spreading of the disease. MAITRI however tirelessly continues its selfless service to the population in the district. Meditate, donate, dedicate to help relieve these sentient beings from suffering. Even a small donation goes a long way.
