YES, LEPROSY STILL EXISTS.
Many people believe that leprosy is a disease from the past. Unfortunately, the reality is that 500 people are diagnosed with leprosy each day. Learn about the cause, symptoms, treatments, prevention of disabilities, and stigma.
I was born poor. My parents struggled to put food on the table and send us to school. On November 4, 2008, I learned I had leprosy. My life turned upside down. I wanted to disappear and quit school. The care and support I received from my family and people at the clinic made me realize I was not alone in my battle. I suffered recurring complications of leprosy. Life seemed unbearable. Fortunately, I was cured and received a scholarship grant for a nursing school. My storm is finally over.
Every two months, we publish a Newsletter
