Just because
someone
has leprosy
they might
be thrown
out of their
home
Their spouse might demand a
divorce
Their family
might reject
them
Their business
might suffer
Their children
could lose
their education
1 person every 2 minutes is
told he/she
has leprosy
Every 20 minutes a child
is diagnosed
with leprosy
Leprosy is completely
curable, but …
…it still disables
…it still stigmatises
…some countries
(including Sri Lanka)
still have laws that
discriminate against
people affected by
leprosy
The Leprosy Mission is
working to bring healing
and justice to people
affected by leprosy
They helped
Elsa to get a
good education
They helped
Nikorn to make a
living
They helped Charan
to live independently
They helped
Rebati to be able
to face the future
They helped
Pemba’s family to
understand
leprosy, and now
she can live at
home
They helped
Amar to overcome the
rejection he
faced
We at ADT would be partnering with
The Leprosy Mission
To take this message
To the Church of Sri Lanka
be
Sri Lanka has 5 new cases
of leprosy per day,
it should concern you
We have over 2,000
new cases a year
and rising
Around 45% of patients
are reported from the
Western Province
The highest number of
cases are from the
Colombo district
