Futures are changed through the Vocational Training Centre
When you have leprosy or a disability and live in poverty, your future job prospects are slim. In fact, you may lose your job because of the stigma of leprosy, or the disease may leave you unable to use your hands or walk properly. Not only that, your children may also have trouble finishing school because your livelihood is gone and you cannot pay for books and uniforms.

Praise God for healing this mum with 7 children
Petronella’s first signs of leprosy were the patches on her skin. Like so many others, she could have tried to hide her condition. She could have ended up with deformities and disabilities, even needing amputations. As a mother of seven children, this would not just affect her own life but all her children.
