Vision, Mission and Values
Our Vision
Leprosy defeated, lives transformed
Our Mission
Following Jesus Christ, The Leprosy Mission works with persons affected by leprosy, partners and supporters towards a world where leprosy is defeated and there is healing, dignity, inclusion, and life in all its fullness.
First and foremost, this is God’s mission. Individually and collectively, He has called us to this work. This 2025-30 strategy is our attempt to write down what God is calling us to. We commit ourselves afresh to this work, trusting God to guide us, equip us and bring this mission to fruition.

Our Values - Because we follow Jesus Christ, we value:
- Compassion: we have sympathy and sadness for those who have suffered from leprosy and we have a desire to help
- Justice: we believe all people should be treated fairly
- Integrity: we believe in the value of being honest and we have strong moral principles that we will not change
- Inclusion: we stand by the principle that everyone should be able to use the same facilities, take part in the same activities, and enjoy the same experiences, including people who have a disability, leprosy or other disadvantage
- Humility: we hope to be the hands of God on this earth and we are here to follow God's guidance
- Collaboration: we prioritise and invest in working with organisations of persons affected by leprosy, communities, governments, health systems, and other organisations to achieve our vision
