Traditional healers are often the main point of contact for people affected by tuberculosis (TB), leprosy or HIV/AIDS. People are often unable to find or pay for professional medical services.

The programme trains traditional healers to recognise the symptoms of leprosy, TB and HIV. This helps them inform and encourage people to seek medical help.

Please donate now to support this work. We rely on the help of people like you to make sure we can continue with our important programmes here and around the world.
