Hope Rises International (formerly American Leprosy Missions)

For over 100 years, American Leprosy Missions has brought healing and hope to people suffering from neglected tropical diseases like leprosy. Today, our mission continues under a new name that better reflects the full scope of our work: Hope Rises International.

As we refocus our ministry to meet these needs and prepare our ministry for the next century of service, we recognized that our name should clearly and compellingly reflect the hope, healing, and transformation only found through Jesus. Hope Rises International does just that. It shifts the focus from disease alone to the people we serve and the hope we seek to spread.

Our new name captures everything we do, everyone we serve, and the purpose that has guided us since 1906—to live and proclaim the gospel while bringing healing to those in need.

Together, we can reach more people, inspire new partnerships, and bring greater healing to those who need it most.
