Description

In this compelling episode, Mohua engages in a heartfelt conversation with Gaurab Sen, a dedicated advocate for leprosy awareness and the CEO of Sasakawa-India Leprosy Foundation (SILF). Gaurab shares his inspiring two-decade-long journey in the development sector, his motivation to tackle the stigma surrounding leprosy, and the systemic challenges faced by marginalized communities. 

From SILF’s innovative educational initiatives to empowering leprosy colonies through decentralization and livelihood programs, Gaurab highlights the critical importance of advocacy and awareness. He also delves into how SILF adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic and continues to expand its outreach across India. This episode sheds light on a largely untold story of resilience, inclusion, and hope.
