Every day over 2,000 men women and children are diagnosed with the world’s oldest and cruellest disease . . . Leprosy. Founded in Dublin in 1874, The Leprosy Mission is the world’s leading anti-leprosy agency. Working in 28 countries, The Leprosy Mission is committed to the detection, treatment, care, rehabilitation and reintegration of people and communities affected by leprosy. With over 2,000 field staff, The Leprosy Mission works in partnership with communities, national governments and other agencies. Every day The Leprosy Mission brings Christian compassion, cure and care to over 250,000 people affected by leprosy. The Leprosy Mission’s vision is of a world where the suffering and bondage of leprosy is defeated. Through the dedication of its supporters, a world without leprosy is an ever closer reality. What a remarkable thing to be able to say: “I helped defeat the world’s oldest and cruellest disease.”
