Who We Are and Where We Are Going... The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is a leading international Christian organisation with over 130 years of experience.
TLM is a worldwide partnership, active in over 50 countries, with a vision for a world without leprosy and a passion to eradicate the causes and consequences of leprosy. As long as leprosy afflicts individuals and communities, we are committed to doing all we can to break its power and impact. God has equipped us with the means and methods to reach our goal of healing, restoring and empowering the lives of people affected by leprosy. This means more than just a cure for the disease; it means addressing the underlying causes, working to prevent disability and restoring dignity and wholeness.
TLM has over 2,000 national and international staff and works in partnership with communities, churches, national governments and other NGOs. National Councils and Support Groups in 27 countries resource our work with finance, prayer and some expatriate expertise.
TLM serves a population of 305 million people across 202 projects in 28 leprosy-affected countries.
