Did you know that there are still over 100,000 new cases of leprosy registered in the world each year? This disease has been affecting lives for thousands of years and as long as leprosy has been around, it has also been a significant cause of fear, disability, and isolation for those within its reach.

India is still home to 60% of the world’s leprosy cases, with more than 800 leprosy colonies. Not only does it affect the person who contracts the disease, but in India their family members are also treated with that same stigma for generations to come. People are cast out and unable to provide for themselves and their families, children are ostracized, and even the most basic of necessities become very difficult to comeby.

Since 2001, Rising Star Outreach non-profit has been dedicated to empowering individuals and families to rise above the stigma associated with leprosy and to live healthy, productive lives through quality education, medical care, and community development.

They use a three-pronged approach, developed to eradicate the devastating effects of leprosy throughout India from multiple angles. This approach is a comprehensive method of healing that addresses the various contributing factors to why leprosy is still on-going despite the fact that it is a curable disease. By supplying and strengthening efforts in medical care, community, and education we can create real sustainable change in the lives of individuals, families, and communities for generations to come.

Will you help me to change the trajectory of this ancient disease by supporting Rising Star Outreach this holiday season? All donations made between now and Dec 31st will be matched by an anoymous donor. Let's save lives and empower individuals while we change the future, together.
