The Leprosy Mission began working in India in 1874. Around 70 percent of people diagnosed with leprosy live in India.

The Leprosy Mission New Zealand works in two regions of India.

• Muzaffarpur - here we support a Community Leprosy Hospital, where hundreds of leprosy-affected people and their familes receive much needed treatment and care. 
  
  
• Faizabad - here we support a Vocational Training Centre, where hundreds of leprosy-affected people and their families have benefited from much-needed skills-training and employment assistance.
