Welcome to The Leprosy Mission New Zealand

Leprosy still exists. Every two minutes of every day someone around the world is diagnosed with leprosy.  There IS a cure, but because of stigma and fear, people affected by leprosy often hide their symptoms rather than seeking the treatment and care that they desperately need.  Addressing the stigma of this disease is as important as curing it, and so the focus is now on ensuring a life of dignity for those affected by leprosy.

The Leprosy Mission New Zealand is a Christian development organisation working with those affected by the disease, regardless of race, creed, religion or gender.
