Leprosy has taken its toll on Abubakar. Cured too late to prevent permanent damage to his body, even getting dressed is a struggle for him.
At 20 years old, Abubakar should be looking to the future. He wants to move past leprosy, to learn a trade and support his mum. Instead, he is waiting for a leg amputation at Chanchaga Hospital in Nigeria.
At the nearby Orthopaedic Centre, a dedicated team stand ready to make Abubakar a bespoke prosthetic. He is clinging to the hope it will bring him. It’s his ticket to an independent future.
Across Nigeria, there are so many people like Abubakar who urgently need a prosthetic. Who deserve a future full of hope.
