Before receiving sponsorship, these elderly men endured inhumane conditions, crammed into corners of makeshift shacks with little more than dirt to sleep on.
Their debilitating diseases left many of them crippled and vulnerable, unable to care for or feed themselves. The stigma surrounding their illness isolated them further, cutting off the support of their families and communities, and pushing them deeper into loneliness.
In response to this injustice, HFK opened the Elders' Home in April 2012. Today, five men—affectionately called the ‘Elders’—live together in a supportive community, while four additional elders, both men and women, also receive full support through the home. By God's grace, the Elders' Home has become a true refuge, providing a safe and loving haven for those who have been mistreated, outcast, and forgotten. It is a place to call home, where the immense gratitude felt by the residents is palpable the moment you walk through the door.
Your support brings hope, dignity, and joy to their lives. Whether through a monthly sponsorship or a one-time gift, your contribution to the Elders' Leprosy Home helps provide a clean, safe living environment, daily caregiving, groceries, meal preparation, medical care, clothing, meaningful activities, and monthly outings.
