A2P (Act2Prevent)

The A2P campaign was started from the need to spread the facts about leprosy to the people of Sri Lanka. This campaign is a collaborative effort between the Anti-Leprosy Campaign (ALC) and the Alliance Development Trust (ADT). Our shared goal is to engage different communities and raise awareness about the signs and symptoms of leprosy, in order to empower individuals to recognize the disease in its early stages.
