Atma Swabhiman was founded and established in the year 2009 in the colonies by the leprosy affected peoples. We have first-hand experience of the struggles and vulnerabilities of the affected and their families. We are also driven by the passion to extend to our community, the opportunities we have been fortunate to find.

Atma Swabhiman has been dedicated to helping individuals and families to rise above the stigma associated with leprosy and to live healthy, productive lives. We believe that building awareness and encouraging self-development is the path to positive change.

Our objective is to provide education, health care and better economic opportunities while drawing on government entitlements. We also work towards establishing networks that drive policies and programmes that will in turn enable lives of dignity and inclusion for the affected.
