The Leprosy Mission is a leading international Christian development mission working in around 30 countries. We have served people affected by leprosy since 1874. Our work covers medical treatment, education, detection, rehabilitation, advocacy and the reintegration of people into their communities. Leprosy is still a disease of our time. Every year over a quarter of a million new patients are diagnosed and registered for treatment. But because of the stigma associated with leprosy and the consequent reluctance to seek medical care, it is estimated that even more cases go undetected.Although leprosy is found in all sectors of society, it often traps the most vulnerable in a cycle of poverty. Leprosy is a human rights issue and our work goes beyond curing a disease. Our strategy includes strengthening communities and advocating for people who have no voice. We help to create health-promoting environments and support local health systems.

A picture speaks a thousand words but a picture and the right words can stir the heart and the emotions. We are looking for confident communicators who can inspire church and secular groups with the vision that The Leprosy Mission has to create a world without leprosy, and encourage a prayerful and financial response.
