Summary
The challenges faced by people with the genetic condition of albinism in Uganda include extreme vulnerability to skin cancer and widespread discrimination. Advantage Africa's project, in partnership with the Source of the Nile Union of Persons with Albinism, will prevent life-threatening skin cancer by providing skin clinics, hats, sunscreen, cryotherapy and surgery. It will prevent hundreds of needless early deaths among people with albinism and enable them to lead long and fulfilling lives.
