Your gift transforms lives
Leprosy has spread like an invasive weed among the tea-pickers of Bangladesh. If it isn't stopped Leprosy can cause injuries and disability, as well as fear and stigma. Sadly Protap realised Leprosy was affecting him too late. Leprosy was attacking his nerves, damaging his left hand. It's not just the disability, Protap used to love his job in the tea gardens, driving the tractor every day. Now he can no longer grip the steering wheel.
If we don’t act now, there will be no way to stop it. Leprosy will spread to more people, and it won’t discriminate. That means men, women, and sadly children too will be affected. And if it’s not treated quickly, this can mean life-changing disability, loss of work, and isolation.
Today you can help uproot leprosy. It costs £111 to hold pop-up skin camp in a tea garden. The skin camp will have everything needed to find and diagnose people with Leprosy. With your gift you can help stop the spread of leprosy for people like Protap.
Together we can defeat Leprosy and ensure that it is stopped in its tracks. It costs only £24 to find and cure one person of Leprosy.
