Rising Star Outreach Summary:

Rising Star Outreach is a nonprofit organization that aids the leprosy colonies in India. Leprosy is curable, but the harsh stigma against leprosy affected people disrupt the connections that they are able to have within their community--they are seen as outsiders. Our organization helps close this gap by providing medical aid, education, and colony development, which enables them to re-enter their communities as thriving individuals.
