TLM 150 video journey

Celebrating 150 Years: Video series

Ruth Towell

For 150 years, The Leprosy Mission has been at the forefront of the global fight to eliminate leprosy. Through decades of dedicated service, we have seen tremendous progress, but the journey is far from over. This special 8-part video series explores the history, challenges, and future of our work as we strive toward a world free from leprosy.

Where are we now and how do we get to a world without leprosy?

Hear from voices across The Leprosy Mission who unpack where our organisation and the fight to defeat leprosy are as we celebrate our 150th Anniversary.

Why leprosy is such a challenging disease to eliminate?

Even after 40 years of having a cure, leprosy continues to affect people in many countries. Why is this? Dr Ruth Butlin explains the challenges we face in eliminating this disease in our latest video.

What does it mean to be diagnosed with leprosy today?

Dr Joydeepa draws on her years of experience working with patients to explain the emotional and physical toll of leprosy that she has seen. She shares what the diagnosis means for people today and how The Leprosy Mission continues to provide care and support 150 years on.

What's the role governments play in the fight to end leprosy?

Brent Morgan, International Office Director, talks about the importance of voices within governments who raise the issue of leprosy, of the opportunities to work with the UN and others to repeal discriminatory laws, and how The Leprosy Mission seeks to partner with governments.

What's the role individuals can play in the fight to end leprosy?

In this video, Brent Morgan highlights the crucial role of our supporters in the fight to end leprosy. He shares how individuals can contribute through prayer, volunteering, donations, and campaigning. Together, with your support, we can achieve a world without leprosy.

How we got to where we are and where we are going?

Brent Morgan, Dr Ruth Butlin, and Dr Joydeepa Darlong explore the history of The Leprosy Mission: from its early beginnings, through evolving challenges and opportunities, to the expansion of support for persons affected by leprosy, and a vision for the future.


Coming soon

In future videos in this series you will hear why we believe that leprosy can be eliminated, despite the challenges. There are innovations on the horizon that will completely revolutionise the fight to end leprosy.
