Stamping Out Leprosy

Last year our donors helped cure over 30 people by sending us their trimmed, used postage stamps.

The power of a stamp... Send us your used stamps to help completely cure and care for someone with leprosy.

Restoring hope is the first step towards healing for someone affected by leprosy. Inspired by the compassion of Jesus, effect:hope works to free these children, women and men from the disease, disability and stigma caused by leprosy.

Please see the following page for instruction on how to send in your stamps collected.
