WE ARE A NEW HOPE CHARITY UK BASED and our 'Core' of our work, the thing on which we stay focused, is the care of those affected with leprosy. It is true that the number of new cases is declining and that is the most wonderful news we can tell anyone but...

We still have an after math of grossly deformed young and old people. The young need corective surgery to enter into vocational training and become self sufficient through employment. The old people who have survived a life time of begging are in need of medical and custodian care. It is true that the bacterial spread is being reduce, or 'eradicated' as the World Health Organisation quotes. But those who have been cured, who are deformed, who survive by begging, live for years with ulcers and no real medical care are still with us - everywhere - in Leprosy colonies.

Giving towards a BUNDLE of LOVE Gift certainly changes the quality of their life. We are hopefully seeing the last decade of leprosy but we have on the horizon the AIDS horror. The children are the innocent victims in this disaster. Our aim is to help them.

We work for change - to change the quality of living of the poorest people in the communities where we work - an open door policy that is hinged on compassion.
