The Leprosy Mission Northern Ireland (TLM NI) is a Christian development organisation that works to cure, care for and restore people, families and communities affected by leprosy. As part of a global organisation, we work in 27 countries worldwide and are the largest player in the global fight against leprosy. Our vision is a world where leprosy is defeated, and lives are transformed.
We work with people of all faiths and none to bring about the defeat of leprosy and transformation in the lives of people affected, partnering with the local Christian church and other stakeholders such as our valued supporters and local, national and international governments. Most importantly, we work with people and communities affected by leprosy, giving them a voice so that what we do is always led by them. Leprosy can affect anyone regardless of age, gender, nationality, class or religion. However, its severest impact is on people who are marginalised or living in poverty, and it is these people, often stigmatized and left dealing with disability, that we most seek to serve.
Every 2 minutes someone is diagnosed with leprosy and many go undiagnosed every year. Globally, around 7% of people diagnosed with leprosy are children under the age of 15. Leprosy is not simply an affliction from olden times; it is a 21st century disease, devastating the lives of people across the globe. It is an injustice. We seek to do everything we can so that children can be born into a world without being at risk of leprosy because it is no longer being transmitted; anybody affected by leprosy can enjoy fullness of life; and there is inclusion, and not discrimination, for people affected by leprosy.
Following the example of Jesus Christ, The Leprosy Mission (TLM) strives to bring about transformation; breaking the chains of leprosy, empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness. Because we follow Jesus Christ, we value Compassion, Justice, Integrity, Inclusion, Humility and Collaboration.
