LEPRA's work covers an estimated 300 million people in some of the world's most deprived countries. Building on more than 80 years of experience, we now address not only leprosy prevention and treatment, but also other diseases of poverty including TB, HIV and malaria.
We believe that there is little point in someone being cured of leprosy if they are then to die of another treatable or preventable disease. Through providing health education in communities, training local staff, setting up specialist referral services and refurbishing hospitals and surgeries, LEPRA is working alongside vulnerable communities to help put people's health in their own hands.
