TRACE training grant
Kedouse Youseph is studying for a PhD at UNISA ( University of South Africa). His research proposal is entitled Family member's experiences and challenges in caring for a relative living with leprosy: Guidelines for social work support.
Kedouse is currently collecting data from selected members of leprosy-affected families and social workers and he expects to complete the research in a maximum of three years. His research intends to identify gaps in the current form of social work services and explore the experiences of people living with leprosy, together with their families. Kedouse will develop practice guidelines for social workers and care givers to assist towards the alleviation of challenges related to leprosy based on his findings.
Kedouse has supported the Jimma Catholic Church Daughters of Charity leprosy community for the past 24 years. He has worked on anti-stigma and livelihoods initiatives and acts as a bridge to local stakeholders. His research is in part a continuation of his commitment to people with leprosy in Jimma.
