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.

Bangladesh: Inclusive Development and Advocacy
The Leprosy Mission Bangladesh supports persons affected by leprosy across a variety of crucial community interventions. This includes support with livelihoods, children’s education, women’s empowerment, and self-help groups. Through all of this work we aim to improve quality of life for persons affected by leprosy.
There are around 1,700 Self-Help Groups that operate with support from TLM Bangladesh. These groups raise awareness of leprosy and promote human rights and inclusion.
The Leprosy Mission Bangladesh are vigorous advocates for the rights and dignity of persons affected by leprosy. We aim to influence policy and legislation, educate policymakers, and partner with officials to make sure inclusive policies and sustainable solutions are designed and implemented. Through this work we aim to contribute to a nation where everyone can thrive with dignity and respect.
