Introduction: Persons affected with Leprosy are facing difficulty obtaining basic goods, especially food, clean water, and soap, masks which are critical to fighting COVID-19 infection. Lost livelihoods and travel restrictions have made it difficult to obtain food for many persons affected, and many communities of persons affected have not had access to clean water. The Government and local NGOs are supported some food grains, soaps and masks to the people affected by leprosy those who are residing in the leprosy colonies. In most states, our APAL leaders represented and supported food aid and other key social protection services also.
