People with albinism face high skin cancer risks due to limited access to sunscreen and protective clothing. Many also struggle with vision problems, needing glasses or magnifiers. Discrimination and violence, driven by myths, still occur in some areas. Poor eyesight can cause education setbacks, leading to dropouts. However, self-esteem programs like beauty pageants and public speaking help boost confidence and visibility.
AWA is certified and allocates 85% of funds to direct programs. Featured on Protocol to the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Africa, we partner with trusted hospitals and advocacy groups.

Learn MoreBorn with albinism, she struggled with painful sunburns, poor eyesight, and bullying at school. His parents couldn’t afford sunscreen, protective clothing, or glasses. Then AWA stepped in. Through its outreach program, AWA provided Amara with sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, UV-protective clothing, and prescription glasses. They also worked with her school to raise awareness and stop the bullying. Today, Adam smiles brightly in class, confidently reading from the chalkboard. He dreams of becoming a teacher—just like the AWA volunteer who first told her, “You are not alone"
My name is Adam, and I am 10 years old. Before AWA helped me, I used to stay indoors because the sun hurt my skin. I couldn’t see well in class, and some children laughed at me. But AWA gave me sunscreen, glasses, and clothes to protect me. They even talked to my school so I wouldn’t be bullied. Now I can play, learn, and feel proud of who I am. Thank you, AWA, for helping me shine."
