OUR STORY: EMPOWERING LIVES SINCE 1999

The Lepra India Trust (TLIT), founded in 1999 by the visionary (Late) Shri. Navin Chawla, is a Public Registered Charitable Trust built on a foundation of compassion and service. The Trust initially focused on providing crucial medical support to leprosy patients and equipping their healthy children with essential vocational skills.

Inspired by the profound values of compassion and selflessness exemplified by Blessed Saint Teresa, our mission expanded significantly in 2012. We embraced the vital work of educating and developing skills for children with hearing disabilities, alongside providing vocational training for promising youth from Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) communities. Our core belief is that “tiny things, done with great love,” can create monumental change.

HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT & INCLUSIVITY

Our goal is to seamlessly integrate children with hearing and speech disabilities into mainstream society, enabling them to lead independent and fulfilling lives. We proudly welcome a diverse group of students, including those with autism and partial MR/CP, alongside children seeking speech therapy.

Currently, over 40 students are enrolled in our educational initiatives and another 40 in our vocational courses – a testament to the program’s effectiveness. We believe in the transformative power of early intervention.
