Our projects: Bombay Leprosy Project
For the past three years, we have been working with the Bombay Leprosy Project (BLP). BLP was started in 1976 to help provide leprosy patients with treatment, spread awareness and to give them a good life.
Mumbai Smiles joined their fight in 2007, helping BLP revive several programmes that it had shut down because of lack of funds.
We helped the good folks at BLP to improve and expand their main clinic in Sion, a locality in Central Mumbai, and provide medical supplies and equipment. In 2009, a new centre was opened in Borivali, a suburb in North Mumbai, which means our efforts can reach out to more people. Several paramedics have been trained to carry out the work.
We have also been working closely with BLP for the rehabilitation of leprosy patients, and have helped 17 of them find employment. To date, our programme has helped thousands of people.
