welcome to American Leprosy Missions:

Celebrating over 100 years of service, American Leprosy Missions (ALM) is the oldest and largest organization in the United States devoted to restoring the lives of people affected by leprosy and related conditions worldwide through holistic cure and care.
 

Urgent! Myanmar Cyclone Emergency Relief

Help! Right now, the death toll from the Myanmar cyclone continues to rise with officials estimating that the death toll could soon top 100,000. Shari Villarosa, the top U.S. diplomat in Myanmar describes the situation as becoming “more and more horrendous.”

One million or more people are now homeless. Children huddle under canvas covers as their parents struggle to find food to eat and clean water to drink.

Equally as tragic, much of the rice crop has been destroyed. In a country where food is at a premium, those affected by leprosy will only move further into poverty and despair in the coming weeks.

ALM has already committed over $300,000 this year to support leprosy cure and care, education, spiritual enrichment, and nutritional programs. Now, the need is even greater.

Give now, and help us pick up the pieces and restore hope.

Thank you and God bless.

You Can Deliver The Cure:

Confronted by the incalculable human suffering caused by leprosy, American Leprosy Missions has launched an extensive Deliver the Cure Campaign.

The immediate goal for this important effort is to deliver a complete cure and critical rehabilitation for 25,000 children, men, and women with leprosy around the world — before it is too late for them.

Give Now.

Every two minutes, another person contracts leprosy.

Every twenty minutes, a child is infected with this devastating disease.

That is why ALM is setting a bold goal for 2008:  to deliver the cure to 25,000 children and adults—a dramatic increase over the number of people reached last year.

At no time has your support been more important in ensuring success in our effort to deliver the cure to make lives better for those affected by leprosy.
