In spite of the publicity and teaching regarding the treatability and mode of infection with leprosy, there is still a great deal of ignorance and prejudice in society against those who suffer or have suffered with the disease. This leads to rejection and refusal of basic needs both in the community and public areas like hospitals, schools and work places. And this is also true for those who have been affected by the disease like relatives of the infected person.Due to the stigma and rejection these people live in small colonies. Because of this rejection they have no trade skill and find it difficult to get jobs.

Children of the leprosy affected people are trained in sewing and Computers.
