My Story: Mathew

Mathew shares in his personal story how he got sick with measles as a child and, as a result, acquired a physical disability as well as epilepsy. He talks about the exclusion he faced as a child in school due to wrong beliefs about his medical conditions. However, Mathew explains how his life improved with treatment and rehabilitation, and he started working as a cobbler and a farmer. Mathew now supports a large family and plays an important role in his community.
