Your gifts offer life-saving treatment, critically needed care, and spiritual support for people with leprosy every single day. Read below to learn more about all the good you do every time you give!
By building permanent houses, we help leprosy-affected families escape the poverty and isolation associated with this terrible disease. Your donations give them safety, shelter, and a place to call home.
To increase community health awareness, your contributions help ALM staff educate teachers and other community volunteers to recognize the initial signs of leprosy and Buruli ulcer. Early detection through education is key to preventing further damage!
We give Bibles to patients, their families, students, and local churches. Through the hope and power of the Gospel, you help ALM offer the comforting and transforming words of Christ to so many who live in pain
Self-care skills help those who have damaged limbs, feet, eyes, and hands tend to their wounds and prevent further disabilities. Community-based support groups help them learn how to better care for their families.
Job skills training helps educate people affected by leprosy so they can learn a trade and provide for their families. Becoming self-sufficient is one important way we help those with leprosy overcome the socially and emotionally damaging effects of stigma.
Protective footwear and prostheses help prevent serious injury to leprosy victims who have suffered nerve damage. Men and women are able to walk — and work — thanks to you.
