:: [ The SILRA Home ] ::

The SILRA Home was built through public donations and officially opened on 4th September 1971 by the Late President of Singapore Dr. B. H. Sheares.

Located at Lorong Buangkok, a remote, kampong area off Yio Chu Kang Road, it has a capacity of 120 and is presently housing 79 residents, whose ages range from 55-96 years.

The Home provides food, lodging, recreation and healthcare services for ex-leprosy patients. It also teaches the patients some handicraft skills and rehabilitative work. Eligibility criteria are ex-leprosy sufferers who are destitute.

Ultimately, the residents want to be treated as an equal, as a normal person like you and me. Thus, the SILRA Home welcomes all volunteers who are interested to show some love and care.
