Our Impact
Every TWO MINUTES someone is diagnosed with leprosy. And leprosy is just one of several neglected diseases that affect the poorest and most marginalized people in the world, causing lifelong disabilities, increased poverty, isolation and profound suffering.
Since 1906, American Leprosy Missions has provided holistic care to more than FOUR MILLION of the world’s most neglected people including medical treatment and training, disease mapping and management, community development and pioneering research.
