Get Involved
We have many different ways you can join the fight against leprosy and other diseases of poverty. Whether you want to help from home or reach out to your community, read on for opportunities for all ages and walks of life.
Pray
Sign up for our bi-monthly Prayer Update to support effect:hope and its partner countries in prayer. You can also join our effect:hope Facebook Live Prayer Group, where we carry each other’s burdens and host a monthly Facebook Live Prayer Session.
World Leprosy Day
Every year, on the last Sunday of January, people around the world participate in World Leprosy Day. We take a moment to pray for those living with leprosy. We also take that day to raise awareness about leprosy. Most Canadians believe leprosy is completely cured. World Leprosy is a chance to dispel that myth.
When your church, Bible study group, youth group or community group signs up for World Leprosy Day, effect:hope will send you a complete package of materials, including more information about leprosy, donation forms and a video.
Become an Advocate
Share the story of people living with diseases of poverty. You can do this by hosting teas with your friends, speaking at church or with your social club, or writing support letters.
