Your personal impact is increased 5 TIMES EVERY MONTH!
You are now able, for the first time ever, to use the 5:1 Grant for people threatened by leprosy in Timor-Leste year-round! Each month you will give 5 TIMES the amount of care that is needed most urgently.
Urgent care is needed for people like Celestino. He had bravely endured the suffering of leprosy for 40 years. When patches appeared on his skin, he didn’t know it was leprosy, and so he didn’t receive treatment. By the time he was found, and leprosy diagnosed, it was too late to save his fingers and toes.
These days he cannot lift heavy objects, or even undo the lid on a bottle, yet he has found a way to grow his own vegetables, so he has food to eat. What courage!
Your TLC kindness each month, matched 5:1 by the Australian Government Grant, can help prevent this hurt from happening to so many others.
WHERE YOUR 5:1 HELP IS DELIVERED...
Timor-Leste is one of Australia’s closest neighbours – the distance from capital Dili to Darwin is only 721 kilometres!
YOUR ACTION TO HELP PEOPLE WITH LEPROSY
