Club Zero for a world where everyone is cured, healed and included
When you look back over the history of The Leprosy Mission, Christ has always been at the centre.
Christ was there when the first leprosy hospital was opened in India. Christ was there on that incredible day when a cure for leprosy was found. And also, in that moment when Dr Paul Brand developed pioneering reconstructive surgery. God used all these great heroes to change the world, and He’s working through you too!
You might not realise it, but you have been on the frontline of the fight against leprosy. You’ve always been there, standing alongside talented researchers, dedicated hospital staff and countless leprosy champions. Sharing the same heart, you all have the same goal. A world finally with zero leprosy.
There is still much that needs to be done. Can you believe that for every patient who has been treated with Multi-Drug Therapy there are an estimated 19 more who desperately need to be cured? The fight is certainly not over yet.
Thank you for not giving up on people in great need.

"We've seen the people with leprosy and their disabilities. We've seen the work of helping them through the treating of the disease, surgery, physiotherapy and vocational training so they can have self-esteem and earn an income... it's just so wonderful. It would be rather strange if we didn't, in our Will, have some of our estate going to continue supporting the work."
- Di & Barry
Thank you for considering leaving a gift in your Will
This is a really special way of showing Jesus’ love to future generations affected by leprosy.
I am sure, like me, you dream of a world where every person affected by leprosy is cured, healed and included. A world with zero leprosy.
Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the most impactful ways that you can be a part of making this dream a reality.
Together we are in reach of our dream, which is also yours, of a world with zero leprosy. Where no one suffers discrimination, stigma or disability as the result of this curable disease.
You can shape a world where no wife is left by her husband because he learnt she had leprosy. You can ensure people are not fired from their workplace because they have leprosy.
Together we can end leprosy transmission, and make sure no child suffers from disability or stigma as a result.
You can continue to follow the example of Jesus in reaching out to people affected by leprosy and disability and their families through a provision in your Will. Just like Di, Barry, Chrisy and Denise.
