Bharat's Story: Living with leprosy and empowered with confidence

Bharat has been living with leprosy for more than thirty years. Unfortunately, by the time he received his diagnosis, the infection had already advanced, resulting in deformities in his hands.

Despite these challenges, Bharat remains determined and hardworking. He has been learning improved and safe farming techniques at Green Pastures Hospital in Nepal, with guidance and support from Dirgha, the hospital’s Safe Farming Trainer.
