What We Do
We are dedicated to curing, caring for and restoring leprosy-affected people, families and communities.
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.
-
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. -
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.
