The Work of The Nippon Foundation

Leprosy

The Nippon Foundation's fight with leprosy has spanned more than a quarter century. Two generations of our leaders have played prime roles in the fight. For five crucial years, we donated enough money that every affected person in every country of the world could receive MDT for free. This section outlines projects that we have undertaken in this area.

Please note that a list of our recent projects in the field of leprosy can be found here.
