The Damien The Leper Society, formerly the Blessed Damien Society, is a non-profit organization aiding victims of leprosy in Vietnam and the Philippines. It is registered in Florida, United States.

The organization is named after priest now known as Saint Damien (or Damien the Leper or Damien of Molokai), who spent the majority of his life caring for the poor and outcast lepers on the Hawaiian island of Molokai.

The society activities include education, family outreach, providing food, curing Leprosy, sanitation, making home, providing special shoes, and providing clean water.
