Leprosy Ireland
Irish Life's campaign - "END Leprosy Ireland" - has raised €1.17 million to date in the fight to defeat leprosy. This is an amazing achievement and we are so grateful to everyone who has donated.
Leprosy is a disease that affects the skin and nerves. It can cause disfigurement and disability, and can lead to death if left untreated. It is spread through contact with infected people.
In Ireland, leprosy was once a common disease. In the 19th century, there were an estimated 20,000 cases of leprosy in Ireland. However, thanks to the work of Irish Life and other organizations, leprosy has been eliminated from Ireland.
Today, leprosy is still a problem in many countries around the world. An estimated 2 million people are affected by leprosy, and 200,000 new cases are diagnosed each year.
Irish Life's campaign - "END Leprosy Ireland" - is helping to fight leprosy around the world. The money raised by the campaign is used to provide treatment, education, and support to people affected by leprosy.
