Spread awareness into the world,
We appreciate your support!
Welcome to Unity for Albinism Foundation.
Unity for Albinism is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals with albinism, especially in Africa. Albinism is a genetic condition that causes a lack of pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair, leaving individuals extremely vulnerable to skin cancer due to sun exposure. In many African countries, people with albinism also face social exclusion, discrimination, and violence. Our mission is to improve the lives of those with albinism by raising awareness, providing essential care, and creating safe spaces for them to thrive.
What we do with our Foundation?
1. Raising Awareness and Education
We are committed to raising awareness about the challenges faced by people with albinism. Our educational campaigns, social media efforts, and local events help increase understanding and foster acceptance in communities. We aim to break down barriers and build a world where people with albinism are embraced and supported
2. Fundraising Activities and Corporate Support
Unity for Albinism organizes fundraising events and campaigns to support our projects. These activities are made possible through the generosity of individual donors, corporate sponsors, and partnerships with organizations like Authentic Beauty Concept. With their support, we can continue to expand our reach and make a lasting impact on the lives of people with albinism in Africa.

4. Support for Safe Houses in Tanzania
We work closely with the “Mary Mother of God“ in Lamadi, Tanzania, providing shelter, food, medical care, and education for children with albinism. Many of these children are at risk of harm and often face neglect or abuse. The Safe House offers a safe and supportive environment where they can receive the care and opportunities they deserve.

5. Collaboration with Stichting Albinism in Africa
One of the most critical issues for people with albinism in Africa is protection from harmful sun exposure. Through our partnership with “Albinism in Africa Foundation” , we ensure that individuals with albinism receive much-needed sunscreen. Stichting Albinism in Africa collects sunscreen donations, and we focus on raising funds to cover the transport costs of sending containers of sunscreen to Africa. This collaboration enables us to provide essential sun protection to those who need it most.
