“The LPEP program is very good. This program should be given continuity. The hidden suspected people can be found easily with the help of this program.”
In November 2017 I worked with Novartis Foundation and Netherlands Leprosy Relief photographing those affected by leprosy and those involved in their LPEP program - one that aims to prevent leprosy by targeting those in close proximity to those affected with drugs known to act as a profilaxis.
I made polaroids of individuals and asked them or a relative who was present to write something on the polaroids. The choice of what to write was theirs, though I asked them to make it relevant to the work that was going on. Often the person in question was illiterate, so a family member (usually someone young) would write on it on their behalf.
