The Leprosy Mission
This International Development charity works globally in 28 countries to break the chains of leprosy and empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness. No one should suffer because of a curable disease.
Our aim is to bring an end to leprosy transmission as we support people living with the disease today and with scientific research for the future. Through this integrated approach we offer a springboard to better health, self-sufficiency and a new hope!
A key area of our work is providing training of vocational skills like tailoring, diesel mechanics, welding and IT to enable students to start their own business or obtain employment. Thus breaking the hold of poverty and providing new hope and a future integrated back into the community.
