The Leprosy Mission New Zealand is a Christian development organisation that works with leprosy-affected families and their communities. Established in 1912, we are one of the oldest and most trusted charities in New Zealand. Following Jesus Christ, The Leprosy Mission strives to break the chains of leprosy, empowering people to attain healing, dignity and life in all its fullness. Our vision is a world where leprosy is defeated and lives are transformed. Because we follow Jesus Christ, we value Compassion, Justice, Integrity, Inclusion and Humanity. The Leprosy Mission is part of the Global Partnership for Zero Leprosy, joining with organisations like the World Health Organisation (WHO), working towards ending leprosy transmission by 2035. What it means is that YOU can be part of the final journey to see no child with leprosy by 2035!
