ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA:  There’s an amazing sense of community at The Leprosy Mission’s hospital and rehab centre, where former leprosy patients - many seriously disabled – work and enjoy friendship and a purpose for living.
Thousands of Ethiopian people suffer from the stigma of leprosy with devastating social and economic results. But TLM fights for a stigma-free society, where isolation and discrimination are eliminated, where people affected by leprosy and their families are fully integrated into society. Living in dignity and free from poverty. And it does that in over 50 countries.
