In Tanzania, your support is building independence and security for a marginalised and often forgotten group of leprosy-affected people
For many years, TLM, in partnership with the Anglican Diocese of Central Tanganyika, has provided funding, staff or other support to Hombolo Leprosy Hospital, near the capital, Dodoma. During the last decade, teams from Northern Ireland have visited regularly to help build houses for leprosy-affected families in Samaria, the leprosy village next to the hospital.
TLM NI continues to give financial support to Hombolo Hospital and its outreach activities. The work includes the identification, treatment and referral of villagers with symptoms of leprosy, TB, HIV and other diseases.
Your support has enabled a new eye clinic to be opened at the hospital recently.
Hundreds of patients with eye disease are benefitting from the new eye clinic every year
