Pray with us
How you can pray with us
Prayer is central to all that we do. We would love you to be involved in the prayer life of The Leprosy Mission. Each year we produce the ASK Prayer Diary, which provides a global overview of The Leprosy Mission’s work. You can view the ASK Prayer Diary week by week below, download a PDF of the full year, or request a printed booklet.
You can also follow our prayer life through the PrayerMate app, where we provide daily prayer requests for the work to defeat leprosy delivered direct to your phone. Get involved with PrayerMate here.

Nepal: Anandaban Hospital, Research and Training Centre
Anandaban Hospital is well renowned for leprosy referral services in Nepal, providing holistic care and world class reconstructive surgeries. The hospital caters to the general public in its outpatient department and is renowned for its dermatology and orthopaedic services. However, after a massive landslide in September 2024, it has been a challenge to find enough safe spaces on the hospital campus where we can provide health services.
Research & Training Centres have been relocated to a rented house in the city, near the Patan Clinic. But since all these components are interconnected, it is important for TLM Nepal to find the right space to provide quality leprosy services.
