Country: India
Location(s): Krishna district (Andhra Pradesh)
The project has three objectives: on the one hand, the promotion and improvement of the understanding of the disease through education and awareness in different schools and communities; secondly, to evaluate the sources of the social stigma linked to the disease (family, community or personal precepts), in order to adjust socio-health actions to social and community demands; and lastly, help students from rural villages to continue their studies, with the aim of promoting their socio-community integration and fighting against stigma and social exclusion.
