Who we are

- Basler Leprahilfe is a partnership between the churches 

and the business community of the Basel area.

- The association was founded on 22 April 1991, 

in the aftermath of the European Ecumenical Assembly held in Basel in May 1989.

- The association is responsible for the collection and appropriate use

 of funds for combatting leprosy and other diseases and their effects.

- The board of directors all work in an honorary capacity.

The administrative expenses amount to less than 5 % of the earnings.
