How can we support those serving in the field? 💡

World Humanitarian Day slogan is "The time for concern is over. The time for consequence is now." It serves as a call for urgent action to protect civilians and humanitarian workers, in our case, those delivering life-saving assistance to people affected by leprosy.

Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy (OPLs)

The Leprosy Mission is an organisation that supports people affected by leprosy.

We also partner with many representative organisations that are led by and made up of individuals who have experienced leprosy themselves. Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy (OPLs) are the most important partners in our work. 🤝

They provide crucial insights and access to communities, allowing our work to be more impactful. 🤲

Dear Lord, bless and strengthen the Organisations of Persons Affected by Leprosy, so they can bring restoration to their communities.

Research

Our main research programmes are in Bangladesh, India, and Nepal, with a growing initiative in Nigeria and Ethiopia. Our three laboratories support our basic, clinical and operational research:

📍Stanley Browne Laboratories in Delhi, India
📍Mycobacterial Research Laboratories in Kathmandu, Nepal
📍DBLM Laboratory in Nilphamari, Bangladesh

Our research priorities are:

✅️ Diagnostic tools – for both leprosy and leprosy reactions.
✅️Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) – antibiotics to prevent leprosy developing in contacts of newly diagnosed individuals.
✅️New drugs for leprosy and leprosy reactions (inflammatory responses in the skin, nerves, eyes, and other parts of the body).

We partner with universities and research groups nationally and internationally to conduct basic, clinical, operational, and social research.

Dear Lord, 🙏
We worship You through our work, and we ask You to guide our research so that, through innovation, we may make a difference in people's lives.
