Hidden Lives
This podcast contains stories of people we've met during our work with The Leprosy Mission.
The Leprosy Mission Australia works with people with leprosy, other neglected tropical diseases and disabilities. They are often the most marginalised, vulnerable and hidden from the rest of society. We run health improvement projects, often in rural and remote villages where we get to meet many people who have amazing life experiences to share.
Yes, leprosy is still a thing but it doesn't have to be.

10 year old Raju was happy doing all things normal 10 year old boys do in his village. But one day, on the way to school, he met a traditional healer who told him to drop out of school because his dad had no money for his schooling. This was untrue, but it set off a chain of unexplainable changes in Raju's behaviour that left his family baffled and afraid.
