9-year-old Nisha should be at school, learning and playing with her friends.
Yet she's been told she's not welcome there. And when she most needed a friend, she also found rejection:
…because significant cuts to global aid are leaving gaps in the health budgets of poorer countries.
This means children like Nisha are being denied the critical care they need – and in danger of lifelong pain, suffering, and loneliness.
With your gift today, you can step in to protect a child like Nisha:
✔ with vital skin screening for early diagnosis and treatment
✔ with contact tracing to stop the spread fast
✔ with crucial leprosy information, so families can act quickly.
As those in power turn their backs on the most vulnerable, your gift is a powerful act of love.
You can hear Nisha's despair...
This is the pain you reach into with your gift today.
It's why your care is so desperately needed – to stop another child from the suffering Nisha’s had to endure. To stop leprosy in its tracks, before it destroys the life of one more child…
DONATE NOW
What’s so distressing about Nisha’s story is it doesn’t have to be this way!
You already know leprosy can be cured.
You understand the disease doesn’t have to be feared. You get that a leprosy diagnosis doesn’t need to lead to lifelong pain and loneliness.
Thanks to the commitment of kind people like you, we are getting closer to ending child leprosy around the world by 2035.
Yet right now, this incredible breakthrough is at risk…
…because wealthy countries have slashed global aid.
If those in power choose not to share what they have with people hurt by leprosy, it’s up to us.
Please send your gift to help provide:
✔ vital skin screening for early diagnosis and treatment
✔ contact tracing to stop the spread fast
✔ crucial leprosy information, so families are armed with facts about care and cure.
You'll help end the injustice – because no child is born for leprosy.
