World Leprosy Day 2010

Sunday 31 January

Fundraising Ideas

Advertise your fundraising event using the World Leprosy Day event poster.

Tea party

Hold your own tea party to support leprosy work in Nepal. You could use this opportunity to show the World Leprosy Day DVD. You could also couple this with a cake sale to raise money, or just give people the option to donate. You can contact us for a Leprosy Mission collecting box.

Wear a glove

Be sponsored to wear a glove for a day. Wearing a glove demonstrates how difficult it would be to lose sensation in your fingers, as experienced by many people affected by leprosy.
