About Us

The Leprosy Mission is a global Christian organization committed to ending leprosy and transforming lives. For over 150 years, we've been working towards a world without leprosy by providing medical care, advocating for inclusion, and conducting pioneering research. Our work spans across Africa and Asia, partnering with local communities and governments to deliver comprehensive care, education, and support, helping individuals and families overcome the impact of leprosy.

Where We Work

The Leprosy Mission operates in 28 countries across Africa, Asia, and the Pacific and has research work in 9 countries.

Working with national programmes, hospitals, laboratories, and grassroots partners, we focus on communities most affected by leprosy and its wider impact.
