Your support means a brighter future for people like Kristina
When Kristina started to notice the effects of leprosy on her hands, loss of feeling and ulcers meant she was struggling to work. It was fortunate that she heard a neighbour talking about a volunteer from a nearby village - a Leprosy Changemaker - who could help.
When she met with the volunteer, Kristina was treated with kindness. She was referred to her local health worker who diagnosed leprosy and gave her the cure, explaining how she could look after her hands to prevent further injuries.
Thanks to people like you, Kristina doesn't have to worry about the future. And when you give a gift today, your donation will have twice the impact for others like her in Mozambique, mobilising a network of Leprosy Changemakers working to end the disease.
Until 24 April, the UK government is doubling your donations to our Unconditional Appeal. Your gifts will change twice as many lives and make sure more people like Kristina can live a leprosy-free future.
