Our Work WorldwideThe Leprosy Mission Canada is part of an international partnership, The Leprosy Mission International. Our partnership, founded in 1874, is dedicated to providing the cure to people with leprosy as well as working to prevent disabilities and to restore dignity and wholeness to people and communities affected by leprosy around the world.
 The Leprosy Mission International is comprised of over 45 countries, each with an important role in the fellowship. Each country has the same vision – a world without leprosy – but fulfills the vision in different ways. 21 countries raise funds to cure and care for people with leprosy and in doing so, educate and advocate for those most in need. 24 countries implement programs for people affected by leprosy and provide the long term care that is needed after they have received the cure. 5 countries do both promotional and implementing work.
Canada focuses its work on funding projects in Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Uganda and Nigeria, and works to provide expertise as well as funds to the projects we partner with. Other promotional countries focus on raising funds for work throughout the rest of the partnership.
