About Us

Founded in 1874, The Leprosy Mission is an international Christian development organisation. It works in around 30 countries in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, bringing healing & justice to people affected by leprosy. Its ultimate goal is to eradicate the causes and consequences of leprosy.

The Leprosy Mission is a global fellowship. The member countries are equal partners in the drive to deliver healing & justice to bring about a world without leprosy.

The members work together, facilitated and supported by the International Co-ordination Office, to ensure that the programmes in each Implementing Country are appropriately targeted, resourced and delivered to achieve maximum impact in the fight against leprosy.

Supporting Countries, like Scotland, uphold their partners financially, practically and prayerfully to deliver the care that is needed.
