Explore ethical & sustainable shopping with purpose 🌿💙 Transforming lives impacted by leprosy, poverty & disability through unique global artisan products and Australian treasures. Leprosy still exists; a person is diagnosed with leprosy every 2 minutes and it can be found all over the world, including in Australia. However, it is most common in places of poverty, due to the lack of vital resources. In fact, within 48 hours of beginning the treatment, they are no longer able to pass the disease on to those around them. If diagnosed and treated early enough, they should have few, if any ongoing problems. Your shopping transforms lives! Since 1913, we have been serving people affected by leprosy. We strive to break the chains of discrimination surrounding leprosy and disability, empowering people to attain healing and live their lives in all their fullness. With every purchase from The Leprosy Mission Shop, you're not only buying an artisan product, but you're also helping us continue our mission of serving those affected by leprosy, poverty and disability by providing them with independence and a dignified source of income. Your support through The Leprosy Mission restores lives and heals entire communities around the world 🌏
