Emergency Response
In any disaster, it is the poorest and most marginalised people that suffer the most. Although disaster relief is not a core area of our work, we respond when we can, often working in partnership with other organisations to distribute emergency aid.
Our main concern is providing medical and psychosocial support to leprosy-affected individuals and their families- especially those who are living with disabilities.
We also help communities prepare for disasters by:
- Developing strong communities to build resilience.
- Drafting disaster contingency plans at an individual and family level.
- Building safe and strong houses that can withstand extreme elements.
- Building community houses that can be used in times of disaster.
- Working in partnership with local government.

What We Do
-
Where We Work
We work in some of the poorest and remote areas in the world. -
Detection and Diagonsis
Early detection and diagnosis of leprosy is vital to our mission, because if treatment with multi-drug therapy is started early enough, long-term disability can be completely avoided. -
Health and Disability Care
Every year, thousands of people are diagnosed with leprosy, and we provide multi-drug therapy and expert medical care to people affected by the disease. -
Community Development and Advocacy
We know that we can prevent leprosy and minimise its impact by addressing extreme poverty. That's why community development is at the core of our work.
