Will We Defend Gen Alpha From Leprosy’s Scars?
Faith Facts
- Leprosy continues to devastate children in Asia and Africa, causing lifelong disability and heartbreak.
- Stigma and lack of resources often mean children are left untreated and suffer in silence.
- Government aid cuts and global apathy have left vulnerable communities without help or hope.
Compassion for the most marginalized reveals the heart of Christ’s teaching, calling us not to turn away from children in need.
The suffering of Generation Alpha due to leprosy reminds us of the Biblical call to “defend the cause of the fatherless,” regardless of geography.
“Our compassion should transcend postcodes, passports and borders.”
This injustice cries out for a faith-driven response, refusing to let distance or discomfort blind us to real suffering.
By refusing apathy and embracing hope, we can help deliver healing and freedom to these children.
Christ commands us to love our neighbor.
Let us pray, act, and stand for every child afflicted by leprosy, showing the world that Christian faith leads with mercy, courage, and truth.
