The Leprosy Mission

About The Leprosy Mission

The Leprosy Mission is a global Christian organisation dedicated to the fight against leprosy and its effects. Founded in 1874, it has been at the forefront of providing medical care, rehabilitation, and support to those affected by this disease. The mission operates in over 30 countries, focusing on prevention, treatment, and social inclusion for individuals impacted by leprosy.

Our core activities include:

• Medical Care: We provide essential medical services, including diagnosis, treatment, and surgery for leprosy patients.
• Rehabilitation: Our programmes aim to rehabilitate individuals physically, socially, and economically, helping them reintegrate into their communities.
• Awareness Campaigns: We work tirelessly to raise awareness about leprosy, combating stigma and misinformation surrounding the disease.
• Advocacy: The Leprosy Mission advocates for the rights of people affected by leprosy, ensuring they have access to healthcare and social services.

Our vision is a world where no one is disabled by leprosy, and everyone affected can live with dignity and hope. We believe in empowering communities through education and sustainable development initiatives. By partnering with local organisations and governments, we strive to create lasting change and improve the quality of life for those we serve.

Join us in our mission to eradicate leprosy and transform lives. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those in need.
