Care begins with
seeing the person.
Shanthigramam means “village of peace”. That is what we strive to be, every day.
For older people living with the lasting effects of leprosy, the need for support can continue long after treatment. Our home offers a place of safety, companionship, and care.
Set among trees beside the Schieffelin Institute of Health – Research & Leprosy Centre in Karigiri, our cottages bring people together in a community built on compassion.
