ALO Society celebrated World Leprosy Day 2026 across 9 districts—Dhaka, Moulvibazar, Habiganj, Nilphamari, Bagerhat, Satkhira, Khagrachari, Rangamati, and Bandarban—in collaboration with 21 federations and jointly with The Leprosy Mission Bangladesh. The programs included rallies, discussion meetings, courtyard meetings, and community awareness activities to promote the message that leprosy is curable and that social stigma remains the real barrier. Government officials, health department representatives, tea company managers and staff, federation leaders, and community members actively participated in the events. A total of 535 participants attended, including 280 males and 255 females. As part of the Emergency Support Education for Empowerment (1st Phase, 2nd Year) project, supported by the Sasakawa Health Foundation, ALO Society distributed blankets to students and federation leaders to strengthen educational opportunities and empower persons affected by leprosy and their families.
