Nila's healing has not only restored her health but also brought hope to her community. Her story highlights the power of kindness and faith.

The Preventative Health and Community Empowerment (PHACE) Programme has been invited to expand from Papua New Guinea into Timor-Leste to counteract a resurgence in leprosy cases threatening the country’s Leprosy Elimination status.

When leprosy came for Nila, all she could see was darkness. Thanks to kind supporters in New Zealand, Nila started her year-long course of leprosy medication. The damage on Nila’s face disappeared!

Antonio's journey underscores the importance of holistic support systems in combating leprosy's social and economic impacts, fostering sustainable change in affected communities.
