The Social Impact of TB (Bangladesh)

Posted: September 7th, 2010 in Miscellaneous

Khulsama has TB. Her family has disowned her and forced her to beg on the streets of Chittagong, in Bangladesh. Despite being totally preventable and curable, nine million people develop TB every year and two million people die from it - mostly in the developing world.

Thanks to Archana,Samiya,Jyoti and Ganga from the Asian Womens University for making this video of Khulsama, who begged them to tell her story.
