Limpho, who is married with one daughter and two grand-children, lives in Mpokochela village in the Drakenberg mountains of Lesotho. It takes him three hours on his horse to reach the Bobete clinic. He was diagnosed with MDR-TB, started but failed the standard MDR-TB treatment regimen because of its side effects. He was bedridden for one year, which caused severe bed sores and oedema.

Today he is feeling much better thanks to the new MDR-TB drugs he is taking as part of the endTB project.
