TLMN fights the battle against leprosy on many fronts:
Identifying hidden cases that are yet unreported as leprosy:
This requires public education so people will recognize early signs, know there is a
cure and overcome superstition.
Getting treatment to patients:
Treating the complications of leprosy such as serious ulcers or reactions, by providing
surgery, physiotherapy or footwear and artificial limbs. We also teach individuals and
families how to prevent disability through self-care.
Providing hospital care and preventing deformities:
Working with governments to train medical teams to deliver medicines for the
treatment of leprosy to remote areas.
Seeking to be a channel of Christ’s love in all we do:
Restoring people in body, mind and spirit.
Helping individuals develop resources to recover from social and economic assaults of leprosy:
We invest in children's education, income-generation and vocational training helping people
to lead as full a life as possible after leprosy.
Rebuilding affected communities:
Working with partners to break the bonds of poverty by providing clean drinking water, electricity,
housing and schools to ensure individuals have access to basic necessities in their community
Research:
Seeking answers to today's dilemmas to provide better care tomorrow, especially in
the areas of disability prevention.

We seek to
Work with people and for communities affected by leprosy to restore human dignity, self-reliance and thus facilitate the process of development.
Act as a determined advocate for the cause of people affected by leprosy.
Provide high standards of medical and other services to meet their needs.
Provide for personal and professional development of staff.
Work in partnership with and through others because we recognize that neither governments nor organizations can manage to solve problems on their own.
We therefore value partnerships, which have been developed over the years and want to continue to develop partnerships.
The Leprosy Mission cares for the whole person – we are a holistic charity, focusing on the physical, social, spiritual and psychological needs of leprosy-affected people.
