Little Flower Leprosy Village
,
Sunderpur, India
Started at the same time as Caring and Sharing in the early 1980s, the Little Flower Leprosy Village has been turned from a leper colony into a thriving social and economic community. Agricultural self-sufficiency, free and efficient medical services and education have all helped to change the lives of families from despair to hope and self-respect. All this has been achieved by the vision of the founder, Brother Christdas.
Brother Christdas also runs a scheme to provide leprosy sufferers from outside the village with homes. These people are expelled from their own villages as the rest of the community refuses to share the water supply with them. They gather together in places such as railway platforms because they have nowhere to go. The housing project supplies brick and concrete houses for these families.
