The Leprosy Mission in Nigeria has initiated a livelihood program aimed at providing skills and economic opportunities to over 2,000 individuals. The program will focus on inmates and other vulnerable populations across six states in northern Nigeria, as well as the Federal Capital Territory. The initiative seeks to address the socio-economic challenges faced by those affected by leprosy and other marginalized groups. By providing vocational training and support, the Mission hopes to foster self-sufficiency and reduce stigma. Details of the specific skills training were not immediately available, but the program represents a significant effort to improve the lives of a neglected population. The project aims to integrate beneficiaries back into communities and promote sustainable livelihoods.
