This is news about the Tanzania Albino Association’s support for UV protection items.

Albino is a congenital disease that occurs when the body's melanocytes fail to synthesize melanin. In Tanzania, albinism occurs at a high rate of 1 in 1,400. For white-skinned black albino patients, the sunny weather in Africa is extremely poisonous. Additionally, there is a widespread superstition that having a body part will bring good luck, and it is said that terrible incidents occur every year.

The World Educational Cultural Aid provided sunscreen and UV-blocking glasses to children through the Albino Association of Tanzania. We hope that children who live their whole lives with false superstitions and the risk of skin diseases can confidently go outside, improve social awareness throughout Africa, and grow into confident adults.

thank you Thanks to the generous sharing of our sponsors, we were able to provide UV protection items to albino children. A large number of albino children are still living in fear and confined at home. We ask for your continued interest in helping children who suffer in the dark.
