This programme works to ensure that people affected by leprosy and/or disability are able to access information, help and support to which they are entitled.

Working towards Zero Discrimination, We are able! works to bring access to resources for food security where there has been a protracted crisis.

This project supports people affected by leprosy to manage their disability, to find their own voice within local and district decision making, and to provide for their own families through sustainable livelihood programmes.

WHALE seeks to reduce the discrimination and gender inequality women with and without leprosy face in Muzaffarpur, India, getting them involved in their community and empowering them to self-advocate.

The project helped the community to find their own voice, access funding, and organise around a sustainable livelihood project that has given new life to the community.

The FREE project aims to improve living conditions for persons affected by leprosy through increasing access to government entitlements and services.

Over 15 years, TLM Bangladesh have established a network of 700 Self-Help Groups, which have now become autonomous Disabled Peoples' Organisations.

An overview of our self-care work

Our team runs a mobile prosthetics unit that travels around the country providing medical care to people who have lost their limbs, either through leprosy, or as a result of landmines that litter the country.

Our mobile clinics take medical care to where the need is, travelling around districts where there is a need for leprosy support, but no local provision. Providing a combination of medical expertise and pastoral care, they are a vital part of TLM’s mission.

Our mobile clinics in India take medical care to where it is needed most, particularly to people who would struggle to reach a hospital.

Dr Helen Roberts is an Ophthalmologist with The Leprosy Mission Trust India. Her opinion is that, across the leprosy sector, we are failing too many patients with inadequate eye care.

There is no one working in leprosy today who would argue that there is not a tight and painful link between a leprosy diagnosis and mental health challenges.
