ILEP is a consortium of international non-governmental organizations with a shared vision of a world free from leprosy, and an acknowledgment that none of us can achieve this on our own. ILEP members raise funds from public and institutional sources.
“ILEP India’s dedicated support to the National Leprosy Eradication Programme working with Central and State Governments, the leprosy affected and other key stakeholders has the potential to turn the dream of zero leprosy into reality.”
