Elderly Leprosy-Affected Persons in TLMTI's Naini Snehalaya
Many elderly persons affected by leprosy are rejected by their families and ostracised by the community because of leprosy-caused disabilities and the stigma attached to the disease. They have no means of livelihood and no one to look after them. The Leprosy Mission Trust India (TLMTI) provides them geriatric care in residential settings in its five Snehalayas (Snehalaya is a Hindi term which means House of Love).
