They sit quietly in corners of our streets…
Not begging. Not complaining.
Just hoping someone will look at them—not with fear, but with kindness.

These are leprosy survivors — mothers, fathers, grandparents — once healthy, once loved, now forgotten. Many were thrown out of their homes. Their hands are deformed. Their feet scarred. But their hunger? That’s as human as yours and mine.

Some of them haven’t eaten a full meal in days.
Not because they’re cursed.
But because the world still believes they are.

Imagine living in a body that’s slowly betraying you—and a world that turns away just because of it.

For thousands of leprosy-affected men and women, this is their reality. Abandoned by families. Rejected by society. Forgotten by the world.

But you can change that with just one meal.

At Beyondonor we are reaching out to the most vulnerable—leprosy patients who have been left to suffer in silence. Many are elderly, disfigured, and living in colonies or roadside shelters, with no access to food or care. Every day is a struggle to survive.

• Most leprosy patients are unable to work due to physical disabilities.

• They face severe discrimination and social isolation.

• Many survive by begging, often going days without food.

• Malnutrition weakens their immune system, making them vulnerable to other illnesses.
