A SEASON OF GIVING

Give a Gift of Hope.

This Season, Hope Needs You.

1 in 8 people worldwide are affected by neglected tropical diseases — leading to disability, stigma, and isolation. But these diseases are treatable, and in some cases, preventable. This season, we’re working to renew mobility, dignity and connection — creating more stories of hope for people like Guddi, Virendra, and Nurse Chandu.

With postal disruptions slowing mailed donations, support is arriving later than usual — at a time when need has never been greater. Your Gift of Hope made online today helps ensure this vital work continues without disruption in 2026. Recognized as a Top 10 Impact Charity in Canada and a Charity Intelligence Top 100 for six years, your generosity is in good hands with us.

Will you give hope this season?

MEET GUDDI

Every Mother Deserves to Hold Her Child
When Guddi lost her leg due to complications from leprosy, stigma separated her from her young son. Her in-laws, afraid and misinformed, would not allow her to return home. Guddi is now receiving care and working toward a permanent prosthesis — a key step toward rebuilding her independence and being reunited with her child.

Your Gift of Hope helps make that homecoming possible.
