what we do
Our work
People affected by leprosy need more than medicine. TLM programmes deliver compassion and action. While it identifies
and assists people to cure and treat physical impairments through reconstructive surgery, it also invests in education, vocational
training, counseling and community based socio-economic rehabilitation activities.

communities affected by leprosy.

call to action
TLM Ireland cannot carry out its life changing work without your help.
We rely heavily of the generosity of individuals who volunteer both at home and overseas. We also rely heavily on business, churches, and other organisations to supply the financial resources that we need.
Much of our funding is provided by personal gift and by the generosity of individuals who leave legacies to the work of TLM. Increasingly, gifts in kind play an important role in our work.
In joining with us to effect real change you might want to donate your valuable time, a skill, a financial gift or a legacy. You might want to pray for the work. To get involved in these ways please either call TLM on 1890 50 51 52 or email us at info@leprosymission.ie . To donate funds to TLM online please click on the red button below.
