The Leprosy Mission

The Leprosy Mission Canada works around the world with people affected by leprosy, an ancient and chronic disease that has affected and frightened humans since the dawn of our recorded memory. Thanks to medical advances, we now have a cure for leprosy. For less than $400, a person can be cured of leprosy and they can also receive the additional medical care and social support they need to rebuild their life. The Leprosy Mission is always looking for volunteers and ways to spread the word.
