Through its grant program, Sasakawa Health Foundation is promoting projects to build a society where Hansen’s disease (leprosy) is not deemed an issue, discrimination and stigma do not exist, and persons affected by Hansen’s disease can receive the treatment and services they need. In FY2021, we are supporting projects in three areas: tackling disease, fighting discrimination, and preserving history.
The application period depends on when the projects begin.
Please carefully read the following Application Guidelines before you apply.
For projects starting in April 2021: November 13 to December 16, 2020
For projects starting in September 2021: March 17 to May 5, 2021
Please note that applications arriving after the deadline will be not be considered.
April 2021 – March 2022
We support activities that contribute to providing high-quality Hansen’s disease services (e.g., early detection and treatment, prevention of transmission, rehabilitation) in endemic countries.
Priority countries: Countries reporting more than 1,000 annual new cases or with a disease prevalence rate above 1.0 per 10,000 population
We support activities to empower persons affected by Hansen’s disease and eliminate the stigma and discrimination they face by strengthening their organizations’ foundations and networks to enable them to gain a solid foothold in society and develop sustainably as the primary stakeholders at the heart of resolving issues related to Hansen’s disease.
Priority countries: Countries reporting more than 1,000 annual new cases or with a disease prevalence rate above 1.0 per 10,000 population
The history of Hansen’s disease holds many lessons for future generations regarding the treatment, care and integration into the community of individuals with stigmatizing diseases, disabling conditions and health impairments, and the importance of safeguarding human rights. SHF funding for history preservation focuses not only on the medical history of Hansen’s disease but also on its social impact, with a particular focus on the lives of those who personally experienced the disease. We welcome proposals that highlight the resilience of persons affected by Hansen’s disease and their efforts to lead a dignified existence in the face of stigma and discrimination. Collection of histories and historical materials: Collect life stories and historical materials (and the stories behind the materials), before it is too late.
Priority countries: Countries where proposals for activities that can serve as a model for other countries in preserving Hansen’s disease history or that contribute to the transfer of expertise or experience to others are possible.
The amount of funding varies depending on the nature of the project. For reference, the average figures for FY2020 are USD 20,000-30,000
