Vision, Mission and Values

OUR VISION

We are the catalyst for change: zero leprosy, an inclusive society.

OUR MISSION

Following Jesus Christ, The Leprosy Mission Myanmar (TLMM) seeks to bring about transformation; breaking the chains of leprosy, empowering people to attain healing, dignity, and life in all its fullness.

We continue to do this by being Christ centred and leading by example.

For TLMM, this means that we serve the ‘people’ by practically realizing rights for people affected by leprosy and persons with disability, we are with them.  We adopt a two-pronged approach of actively influencing and advocating key stakeholders and partners for change at the policy level, while at the same time helping to build and empower leprosy and disability champions at the community level. This approach allows networks to be strengthened that can facilitate an enabling and inclusive environment allowing health services to be more accessible. As a ‘hands on’ organization, our presence has been expanded ensuring that services at the grassroots level exist, where they were scarce or non-existent before.

Our hard work and commitment have made TLMM credible in its work on disability, rehabilitation and community work and this reputation is visible as we are approached from increasing number of international organisations to be their implementing partners. 

OUR VALUES

We act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God”. Micah 6:8.

Because we follow Jesus Christ, we value compassion, justice, integrity, inclusion, and humility.
