The Leprosy Mission’s Orthopaedic Workshop in Chanchaga, Nigeria does just that – it helps people to stand, by providing high-quality orthopaedic devices for those affected by leprosy and other disabilities. In fact, it achieves much more than that.

 
The project, near Minna, capital city of Niger State, serves an area where poverty is widespread. Pavements and smooth road surfaces are rare, and potholes are much more the norm, so the workshop provides a vital service, fitting mobility aids. It allows people with impairments to aspire to the dignity of an independent life and to play a full part in community life

Five workshops in the whole of Nigeria, serve a population of 130 million people. Chanchaga Workshop is the only one in Niger State. That’s why The Leprosy Mission is investing in the future of its Orthopaedic Workshop, working to make structural renovations to the buildings and investing in staff recruitment and training.  More
