World Leprosy Day 2012


Will you reach out and touch someone with leprosy this World Leprosy Day on Sunday 29th January?

 

It's now been 100 years since the Leprosy Mission New Zealand was formed.  Over the last 30 years since the cure for leprosy was discovered we have cured more than 15 million people around the globe.

  

Together, we've come such a long way. But 5 million people still need your urgent support to overcome the disabilities and stigma caused by leprosy.

 

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart - Galatians 6:9
