Let’s act now, it’s contagious!
Everybody is entitled to a dignified life and the best possible health. Since 1964, Damien Foundation has been helping people with tuberculosis (TB) and skin-related neglected tropical diseases such as leprosy and leishmaniasis. We offer support to vulnerable communities, we help them recover and provide essential socio-economic support where needed.
Tuberculosis, leprosy and leishmaniasis
Tuberculosis, leprosy and leishmaniasis are three diseases that affect the lives of a vast number of people – primarily people living in vulnerable conditions who are at increased risk of infection. With treatment, these three diseases can be cured. Unfortunately, too many people are still without access to quality healthcare.
