Uganda being on the equator, has sun all year round which impacts on the quality of life of these people, especially the children as they cannot go out to play unless they are protected from the sun.
The Albinos face lots of problems due to discrimination i.e… they cannot find work / they have bad eyesight and are legally blind / no one wants to marry an albino /it’s hard to find schools for the children and they are also very prone to skin cancer.
The sunscreen in Uganda is very expensive and most of the time they get cheap fake products which irritate their already sensitive skin.
One bottle of sunscreen can last one month for an adult {children need to apply three times a day} there are 20,000 Albinos in Uganda 60% of these are children.
Every bottle you send really will make a difference! Please be generous in your donations.
I am personally paying all transportation costs to send out the Suncreen factor 50 to Uganda BUT desperately need more to send. Please give generously for this very worthy cause.
