Stamping
Out Leprosy
The power of a stamp...
Send us your used stamps to help completely
cure and care for someone with leprosy.
Last year our donors helped cure over 30 people
by sending us their trimmed, used postage stamps.
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.
