Will you reach out and pray to heal the heartache of leprosy-affected children around the world?
Imagine you’re a child... and you just want to hug your mummy. But she’s died... and people avoid you because you have leprosy. You can’t hide the signs of the disease. People see the skin patches and your clawed hand. They’re afraid to be near you.
Thank you for your compassionate heart for families in PNG — like mine.

Witness a Medical Breakthrough in Nepal!
Leprosy patients used to need two surgeries on each leprosy-affected hand; and between each surgery, fingers needed to be rested for 3 months. But a surgeon at The Leprosy Mission’s Anandaban Hospital in Nepal, Dr. Indra Napit, has developed a new process to carry out reconstructive hand surgeries by combining two surgeries into one. Now the hospital admission time is reduced significantly — from 6-8 months to 8 weeks.
