Christ at the Centre We know nothing is impossible with Jesus! So we invite you to join the vision to defeat leprosy and transform lives. Strategy doc OCT18 24pp text.indd 11

Towards Zero Leprosy Transmission by 2035... when you help Cure Every 2 minutes, another case of leprosy diagnosed. Around 30% of these cases are children. You’ll help prevent transmission through early diagnosis and treatment of leprosy in countries where the disease is endemic.

Towards Zero Leprosy Disability... when you help Care If leprosy is treated early enough, nobody should suffer disability from the disease. You can help prevent nerve damage, loss of hands and feet, and loss of independence due to leprosy.

Zero Leprosy Discrimination... when you help Restore Leprosy is curable! So no child or adult should be excluded from family, community, school or workplace due to the disease. You can help change attitudes and fight discriminatory laws that exclude leprosy-affected people from society.

Our strategy is centred on Christ, with a main priority of reducing transmission as we work towards our long term goal of zero leprosy transmission by 2035. This links in with our two other focus areas, disability and discrimination.

Cure One now for zero leprosy in the future

TRANSFO

We praise God over 16 million leprosy cases have been cured over the last 20 years! But leprosy is still prevalent in many countries… we want to see Zero Leprosy Transmission, Disability and Discrimination.

In the name of Jesus Jesus loved those who were rejected and despised. He reached out and cured the sick and the desperate—including those with leprosy. In fact, Jesus Cured, Cared for and Restored many people with leprosy. And He Cured One at a time. You can Cure One too... in Jesus’ name!

Take ACTION and Cure One today for Zero Leprosy in the future! When you commit to Cure One, you will follow Niran’s journey—meet this young boy on pages 8-9.
