The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is an international Christian organization serving the needs of people affected by leprosy in 30 countries. We bring healing through appropriate treatment and care, as well as practical support for people with ongoing leprosy related problems, working in partnership with communities, national governments and other agencies. We seek to address the loss of dignity that many people affected by leprosy and their families have experienced. In all these matters we seek to show the compassionate love of Jesus Christ through word and deed. Individuals and churches of all denominations, as well as other agencies support the Mission with finance, prayer, and some expatriate expertise.
