st francis leprosy guild
St Francis Leprosy Guild is the UK’s Catholic leprosy charity.
Inspired by our patron saint, St Francis of Assisi, we have cared for people with leprosy for 130 years. We operate in twelve countries in Africa, Asia and in Brazil where leprosy is endemic.
By supporting over thirty leprosy centres and projects, we play our part in caring for those affected by the disease and working towards a leprosy-free world.
We fund research projects, hospitals, rehabilitation centres and capital equipment. We fund Active Case-Finding, a programme that finds, diagnoses and treats people with leprosy before it causes disability and spreads into communities.
We believe that a leprosy-free world is within sight; if not today, then soon.
