About Hidden Lives

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.
