Lepra

We are an international charity working to beat leprosy. This disease affects the most vulnerable people in the world, causing life-changing disabilities, but there is a cure. More than 600 people are diagnosed and start treatment each day – over 50 of these are children. But due to fear and lack of knowledge there are over 3 million people across the world living with undiagnosed leprosy and every day the disease causes more damage to their health, livelihoods and futures.We work on the ground with communities in India, Bangladesh, Mozambiue and Zimbabwe to find, diagnose and rehabilitate children, women and men affected by leprosy. Through raising awareness, pushing for early detection and reducing prejudice we support people so they can transform their lives and work towards a day where we can beat leprosy altogether.
