The diseases we tackle

The Damien Foundation mainly deals with both leprosy and tuberculosis.

Occasionally, we support NGOs who tackle both diseases. First and foremost however, we support national programmes.

We also support a national programme against leishmaniasis in Nicaragua.

We do not support isolated HIV programmes. However we do encourage a better coordination between HIV programmes and tuberculosis programmes. We also encourage efforts to improve the care given to patients suffering from HIV-tuberculosis.
