Young Scholars Lead Leprosy Awareness in Bangladesh

Young Scholars Lead Leprosy Awareness in Bangladesh

A special programme in Bangladesh is helping young people who have leprosy become leaders in their communities.

These young scholars are learning important skills to help themselves and others.

They are working to reduce stigma and make sure people with leprosy get the support they need.

Five scholars were chosen from many applicants, and they are already making a big difference by raising awareness and advocating for better healthcare and inclusion.

The programme is supported by a UK-based charity called Lepra, and it aims to create a more inclusive society where no one is left behind.
