until No Leprosy Remains

NLR is a global forerunner in the fight against leprosy

Our global ambition: a world free of leprosy by 2040 

Leprosy still exists today. This ancient disease impacts the lives and futures of hundreds of people every day. Leprosy affects the most marginalized communities. Every two minutes someone is diagnosed with leprosy. Disabilities caused by leprosy fuel stigma and discrimination, a lack of knowledge and understanding about the disease results in social exclusion. Totally unnecessary. The solutions are already available.

We can cure leprosy. We can even prevent leprosy. With knowledge and collaboration, this disease should be eradicated within one generation. Our generation.

After all these centuries, we are almost there. Help us achieve our ultimate goal. A world without leprosy and its consequences.
