Hidden Lives
Leprosy Mission Australia works with people with leprosy, other neglected tropical diseases and disabilities. They are the most marginalised and poorest of the poor. People often hidden from the rest of society.
Their lives might be completely difference to us in Australia, but they also have amazing life experiences worth sharing. As staff of the Leprosy Mission Australia, we want to uncover what is hidden and share with you the lives of the people we meet.
This podcast contains stories about people we've met during our work, who have shared their life journeys with us.
Yes, leprosy is still a thing but it doesn't have to be.

20 years later, Bibek now has a family and a successful business, but these scars continue to hurt deep.
