ABOUT IDEA

"With IDEA I feel I am regaining my own dignity, as a person, as Zilda . . . .  It is as if dignity emerged from my own heart, and little by little bubbled over. I see it as a blessing that can be multiplied."

  -- Zilda Borges, Brazil

Zilda Borges, who has personally faced the challenges of leprosy, is now providing support for other women diagnosed with the disease in Brazil.
