REHABILITATION & PROTECTION
Preventing disability. Restoring mobility.
Loss of sensation in the feet is one of leprosy’s most debilitating consequences. LRRC’s in-house footwear workshop creates customized Microcellular Rubber (MCR) shoes that redistribute pressure and prevent life-threatening recurrent ulcers.
During 2024–2025, our workshop crafted 145 pairs of tailored MCR footwear, engineered 3 specialized DFC spring shoes for drop-foot patients, and performed 266 preventative footwear repairs.
