LEPERS in India will soon be on their way to getting a new health centre thanks to Fareham churchgoers.
A plant sale was held at St Paul's Church in Sarisbury Green with the proceeds going to the New Life Centre in Sundarbans, India.
The cash will help build a new health centre with additional accommodation for people living with leprosy.
There will also be a vocational training centre, an orthopaedic centre and a handicap welfare unit.
Two floors of the four storey building have already been completed and the extra £1,000 will go a long way in helping get the rest of the building up and running.
Event organiser, Barbara Coaker, said: "Some of the building work has been made possible by the ongoing support of St Paul's Church at Sarisbury Green."
