Feed People Suffering with Leprosy
It is calculated that on an average 130,000 Indians are diagnosed with leprosy every year more than every other country put together, even though the Indian government claims to have eradicated this disease in 2005. Since leprosy attacks nerve endings, destroying the ability to feel pain and injury, the infections in the patients lead to the loss of fingers, hands, toes and feet over time. Unfortunately these patients face lifelong rejection, stigma and discrimination and hence many sufferers delay treatment even if it is fully curable in the early stages! Lepers are considered unclean by the society and most sufferers are driven away from the community.
Open Heart Compassion India extends its helping hand to these poor and suffering people in the community by providing them with food, medicines, blankets etc along with sharing the love of God with them.
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out the demon mathew 10 : 8
Here there are leprosy colonies where lepers especially live as these people are often despised are not allowed to mix up in general society. These Lepers come out for begging on the roads and Street where only the Christian communities allow them to appear..
We spare a little of our financial somees and also a small distribution of food grains for the begging leprosy who cannot work and earn their livelihood. we also give them bandage clothes and medicines. Almost all Leprosy people in all their Colonies believe on God Jesus and sing songs of praise to God while begging. May God bless them and kindly support the service.
