Leprosy project
Leprosy is not a curse but it is only a disease and it is curable. It is very hard to make people understand and accept this fact, especially those who are affected by it.
There are nearly 4000 leprosy patients living in various leprosy colonies in Delhi. Their lives are quite different and difficult than others. Most of them believe that they get leprosy because of their sin and bad karma and therefore do not take it as a curable disease. YET works among some of these people with leprosy. We visit them time to time and give them counseling. We try to persuade them to believe that leprosy is not a curse but it is only a disease and it is curable. We take them to the hospitals for free treatment. YET also seeks to help children of lepers to come to the main stream of life in the society. YET also takes care of their study and schooling.
Become a partner
YET provides food stuff, cloths, blanket and medical care to lepers. Any amount of help toward them is welcome. To help one child in leper colony it cost about 1500 INR ( U.S. $ 25) per month. YET seeks many more partners to come up and make an impact into the lives of unprivileged children. Please contact us if you are willing to be a part of this life changing program.
Medical Camps
Medical camps has been one of the very effective programs of Yah Educational trust. People in the slum and underprivileged areas do not have enough medical facilities. They have to depend on municipality health centers which are far from them and also do not provide them enough treatment. Thus the untrained medical practices has been a great threat to people. By seeing the need YET organizes medical camps time to time to ensure better health facilities for the people in the slum. General health check up, dentist check up, head lice treatments are the common health areas where we do camps. Patients with serious diseases are taken to bigger hospitals.
