The Leprosy Mission

Our mission is to minister in the name of Jesus Christ to the physical, mental, social and spiritual needs of individuals and communities disadvantaged by leprosy; working with them to uphold human dignity and eradicate leprosy.
 
The Leprosy Mission is a leading Christian development organisation, founded in 1874 by Wellesley Bailey.  The Mission works with leprosy-affected communities in around 30 countries.  This work includes medical detection and treatment, education, development, rehabilitation, rights awareness, housing, advocacy and social justice.
 
The Leprosy Mission's international family is made up of 28 implementing and supporting national councils.  We employ more than 2,000 national and international field staff, partnering with other non-government organisations, churches and government agencies.  Our work in the field is regarded very highly in the countries where we operate.  We are reliant on contributions and prayer support from individuals, churches, trusts, legacies and government agencies to continue our work.

Rickmansworth Baptist Church supports The Leprosy Mission through our retiring offering after Sunday morning worship.
