Sunday is World Leprosy Day when The Leprosy Mission gives thanks to God for people like you and your ministry to people with leprosy.
Your kindness and love make you an important part of this year’s World Leprosy Day!
Our Heroes of Hope booklet introduces you to some of the people in Nigeria whose lives are now transformed because of the kindness and love of people like you.
Maimuna survived horrors it is hard to imagine. Her husband murdered. Her children threatened. Her prosthetic leg damaged as she led her family to safety.
All the time leprosy kept attacking her, not stopping at the leg it had already taken.
That’s when your care comes through.
Our Heroes of Hope booklet introduces you to some of the people in Nigeria whose lives are now transformed because of the kindness and love of people like you.
PLEASE DONATE NOW WITH A SPECIAL GIFT TO CELEBRATE WORLD LEPROSY DAY THIS SUNDAY
Through The Leprosy Mission, you provide people like Maimuna with prosthetics, with healing MDT, with ongoing care from our brave frontline workers.
“Thank you for supporting me to access the healthcare and the drugs that are beginning to cure me. I want God to heal me, and for me to stay in one piece. When this happens, I know all will be well.
Truly I thank you. May God bless you and your family! Thank you!”
MAIMUNA
MEET PIUS
JUST ONE OF HEROIC FRONTLINE WORKERS IN NIGERIA...
When Pius starts his day, he prays.
You might do that too. (I know I do.)
The difference is that Pius prays he won’t be kidnapped or shot by terrorists.
In troubled Nigeria, many community workers are too often vulnerable for attack.
Pius has seen this himself:
“Tragically violence is increasingly becoming part of normal everyday life here.
Even at home we are not completely safe. Our home has been robbed at gunpoint twice … Sometimes we take an armed escort when travelling to a particularly dangerous area.”
