What is the best thing about working with The Leprosy Mission Australia?

Just like Jesus, we continue to change the lives of people with leprosy or disability or marginalised through every single action we take at our work. We not only provide artisans with a dignified income but also we help cure, restore and care for people affected by leprosy disability and make a positive impact on the environment through our fundraising activities.

How does The Leprosy Mission Australia mission drive you?

My goal is to be efficient and productive in my work so that we can deliver the best outcome for people in need so they can be included in society and have all the assistance they require.
