Food for Leper’s
The food program has made a big transformation since the days in the refugee camps. IFC still provides food for the needy. We provide nutritious food (eggs, fish, chicken, rice and veggies) for at least 15 leper families in our region. These are families who have one member of who has leprosy. We have found that in order for the leper to recover they have to stay on a regiment of WHO medicines and improve their health. The food is an important part of building the strength of the sick family member. We have also found you cannot just feed one member of the family so we provide food to supplement the families diet.
We also deliver food to families with one member who is being treated for T.B. They are also treated daily with medicines to cure their T.B. but they also need to re-build their physical strength.
