THE BACKDROP

Leprosy is an infectious disease that causes severe, disfiguring skin sores and nerve damages in the arms, legs and skin. Leprosy is still seen as a contagious and incurable disease. India accounts for 60% of all global leprosy cases. Society continues to stigmatise people affected by leprosy. Stigma leads to irrational behaviour resulting in discriminatory practices, making them second-class citizens.

Leprosy patients are neglected and have no one to care for them. They face family rejection. In most cases they live a life filled with neglect, mental trauma and worry. 


THE INITIATIVE

Sumanahalli Society is an NGO based out of Bengaluru. It is a centre/ home which brings light into the lives of leprosy patients. The society is on a mission to fight social stigma associated with leprosy and help bring hope into the lives of leprosy patients. The home currently has 80 patients and has been operating for the last 45 years. They provide a loving and secure home which will help leprosy patients lead much happier lives. 

At Sumanahalli food, medical, nursing and clothing expenses are taken care of. This campaign of mine aims to help as many leprosy patients as possible and give them the much-needed hope and comfort. Just INR 5000 will support a leprosy patient for a month.

Sumanahalli Society has been recently recognised as the best NGO by the Government of Karnataka for helping leprosy patients in Karnataka.

HOW YOUR FUNDING CAN IMPACT LIVES



ABOUT ME

My name is FR GEORGE KANNANTHANAM. I am a concerned citizen.

This campaign is extremely close to my heart. I have taken up this initiative because I think being able to impact the life of a person suffering from leprosy by giving them food and medical care would be incredible. Leprosy patients find it very difficult to remain at home due to social stigma. They face neglect and have no one to care for them. This campaign will definitely give them hope, comfort and will positively impact their lives. The fact that just INR 60000 can make a difference to their life for a year made me realise that I must lend a helping hand.

Please support my campaign as we can together support many patients and change their lives for the better. If we raise more than INR 60000, the extra funds will be used to support a patient for more than a year.

Let's transform their lives together.

FEEDBACK THAT YOU GET

To ensure that there is complete transparency I shall get a report from SUMANAHALLI SOCIETY (this takes between 1 to 3 months usually after the funds are raised and transferred to them) telling me who benefitted from the funding. The details will then be posted on the UPDATES section of my campaign. As soon as I post an update, the platform will send an  EMAIL alert to all the funders - i.e. to you.

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept and is growing very quickly.

It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations and ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding.
