Initially, he worked as a day labourer but often returned home empty-handed.

Determined to improve his situation, Mohammed decided to take the bold risk of starting a small business within the camp.

Geneva, 5 March 2025 (WHO)* – In the past two decades, tuberculosis (TB) prevention, testing and treatment services have saved more than 79 million lives – averting approximately 3.65 million deaths last year alone from the world’s deadliest infectious disease.
