Hidden Lives
The 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 people living 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 throughout our work.
This podcast contains stories about people we've meet during our work who have shared their life journeys with us.

12 - A mother's motivation
Ayush was born through a homebirth in the comfort of his own home. At first everything was perfect, but when Ayush started crying a lot and didn't feed properly, his mother knew something was wrong.
Taking him to the hospital, the family was told to abandon his treatment as he would not live for much longer. However, his mother went against this advice and 12 years later, Ayush continues to be a thriving, curious boy.
