Welcome to the Rufiji Leprosy Trust Website
Watch our 3 min video showing the reality of life in Kindwitwi
This website is designed for:
- anyone wanting to know what is being done to fight the scourge of
leprosy in the Rufiji District of Tanzania;
- those wanting to make a donation;
- our old friends to catch up on the latest news.
Its purpose is three-fold to:
- discover and treat leprosy in the Rufiji area of Tanzania;
- support ex-leprosy patients and their families throughout the district;
- promote self-sufficiency.
- Kindwitwi was once an old-style leper colony but is now a thriving village;
- Kindwitwi Leprosy Care Centre plays a vital role in leprosy awareness and education as well
as in the treatment and eradication of leprosy in the Rufiji District;
- Kindwitwi plays a significant part in the development of local communities.
Kindwitwi Leprosy Care Centre became KLCCDA in 2006 when it was inaugurated as a limited company and a charity registered in Tanzania.#
