The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is an international Christian charity, founded in 1874, and now bringing healing and restoration to some 300,000 people affected by leprosy in 30 countries. The Mission has 2,300 field staff and works both directly, through its own hospitals and programmes, and in partnership with churches, voluntary agencies, patient organisations, governments and international organisations to meet the broad-ranging needs of people affected by leprosy. The Mission has an annual budget of £9.35 million and relies on the contributions of individuals, churches and other groups to support its international work.

TLM is acting as a determined advocate for the cause of people affected by leprosy world-wide. TLM is working in 30 countries world-wide and treats at least 83,000 people with active leprosy and care after cure to over 100,000 people suffering from the effects of having had leprosy. Our programmes detect nearly 100 new cases every day and over 13 of these will be children. Last year TLM provided socio-economic rehabilitation to nearly 50,000 people directly affected by leprosy.
