His mother noticed the signs of leprosy early. Numb patches of skin on Abubakars body. She took him to herbalists and local traditional healers but they did not know that Abubakar had leprosy. Abubakar was diagnosed and treated for his leprosy, but sadly it had already done great damage to his body.
Take a moment to hear Abubakar tell his story in his own words in this video that was part of our advent campaign a few months ago...
Take a moment today to pray for Abubakar and many people like him who are facing difficult choices in their mobility, future and health because of leprosy. If you are able to give today you can do so safely and securely through our website here, thank you.
