The Social and Leprosy Rehabilitation Centre
JEEVODAYA

is a medical and educational institution, which looks after people infected with leprosy as well as members of their families. It is located in central India in the state of Chhattisgarh where it was established by a Polish Missionary and Doctor of medicine, Father Adam Wisniewski, in 1969. Since 1989, the Centre has been administered by a lay missionary Dr Helena Pyz from Warsaw.

JEEVODAYA (in Sanskrit ‘the dawn of life’) maintains a fixed clinic for leprosy patients and the poor of its area as well as two outside medical camps. It also provides medical assistance within the lepers’ colonies.

The Centre houses 450 children from families affected with leprosy. They attend the 10-class school and receive full maintenance. JEEVODAYA also supports the ablest school leavers who wish to continue their studies in vocational courses or at universities.

The majority of the Centre’s employees are people cured of leprosy and their families. JEEVODAYA also looks after a group of orphans and children who need special care. The spiritual care for the Centre is provided by Indian Pallotines.

JEEVODAYA is a charity institution. It exists thanks to financial support from Poland and other countries from all over the world (the JEEVODAYA Mission Secretariat in Warsaw was established to collect donations).
