About The Leprosy Mission

We are an international Christian organisation with almost 150 years of experience. Founded in 1874, The Leprosy Mission is the world’s oldest and largest leprosy-focused organisation with activities in more than 30 countries.

Following Jesus Christ, we seek to bring about transformation; breaking the chains of leprosy and empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness.

No one should suffer because of a preventable and treatable disease.

We work with people of all faiths and none to defeat leprosy and transform the lives of people affected.
