This blog gives examples of how children with albinism are supported in their schooling in Tanzania, Malawi and Uganda.
Albinism is one of the commonly misunderstood conditions in many African communities. In some communities, albinism was viewed as a curse, a bad omen, or a punishment from the ancestors for atonement of wrong deeds. Children with albinism often face discrimination and are excluded from learning. There is also a lack of adequate infrastructure or understanding of the needs of children with albinism. However, this blog shows some of the steps being taken.
