Stories of Change

Real stories of transformation from the people AWA serves.

Adam’s Story

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.

Brendaline’s Journey

Brendaline, a courageous woman living with albinism in the Northwest Region of Cameroon, has endured years of stigma and discrimination. Through AWA, she found not just support but also a voice. She began sharing her story publicly, educating her community about the realities of albinism, and became a passionate advocate for change.
