Where We Work
We work in some of the poorest and remote areas in the world.
We work hand-in-hand with governments, local communities, partner health organisations, the World Health Organization, and many others to provide and evaluate a range of different projects.
The projects help transform the lives of leprosy-affected people as well as work towards eradicating the causes of the disease.
