Centre of HOPE - Delhi I VoH
One can hardly ignore the presence of leprosy patients in any city of India. In fact, we find them all around us: in the bus stop, on the signals, in front of religious places and so on. The "Village of HOPE" as the name indicates is truly the wellspring of hope for the countless leprosy patients our society ostracized due to the social stigma and fear attached to this dreaded disease.
Home to 4000 leprosy patients and their families, the Village of HOPE has seen an astounding transformation. Established in 1993, the initial years witnessed the residents heavily dependent on begging on the streets of Delhi as their chief source of income. However, over the years, close to 90% of the residents have abandoned begging and opted to work in different parts of the city. Lending a helping and supportive hand to the residents in this transformation are the valiant and dedicated HOPE foundation workers.

Right now, there streets are made of bricks, the garbadge-project is getting better every year. We started a hand washing programme @ the primary school to teach the children how to work with hygiene. Every year the knowledge of the people of HOPE Delhi is growing. I respect them and Wendy Andrews a lot.
