We are on a mission to eliminate leprosy from the face of the earth. Our vision is a world without leprosy, and our global goal is to eradicate the causes and consequences of the disease.

The work we do is diverse, and our programmes and services include:

• Detection & Diagnosis
• Health & Disability Care
• Community Development  to Combat Poverty
• Advocacy & Education to Fight Stigma
• Emergency Response & Preparedness

To ensure we have the most impact we work in partnership with leprosy-affected individuals, their families and their communities. We listen, we learn and we empower whole communities to take charge of their own development.

We also work hand-in-hand with governments, the World Health Organisation, local leprosy and health related organisations, and local churches. The end result is projects that are effective, sustainable and responsive to local needs.

We currently have projects in the following countries:

• Bangladesh
• China
• Ethiopia
• India
• Nepal
• Papua New Guinea
