Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Every 2 minutes someone in our world hears the words 'You have Leprosy' - 3 short, simple words but words that carry the weight of generations of stigma, fear and shame.
Leprosy is one of the world’s most neglected diseases. It affects the poorest of the poor in our world. Those who usually live in crowded conditions and lack adequate nutrition, sanitation and health facilities, making them particularly vulnerable to infection.
Leprosy is robbing individuals of their health, freedom, independence, livelihoods, their basic human rights and so much more!
BUT it doesn't have to be this way! You can help stop leprosy in it's tracks.
Leprosy is completely curable and early diagnosis is key to stopping long term effects of leprosy related disability.
Your kindness could help fund a pop-up clinic (costing £111), allowing those most in need to access the help, support and care they desperately need and deserve.
