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.
