For Albino Children in Tanzania, the sun isn’t their only enemy

​​​​​​​The sun is their number one enemy.
While in Tanzania, Jef was confronted with a very ugly truth. 

In some parts of the country, albino hunters brutally hack off the hair, arms, legs, skin, eyes, and genitals because these body parts are used by 'witch doctors' for spells and potions.

But they face a slower death from a disease known as the “silent killer.” They have a much higher risk of skin cancer without melanin to protect them. 

We visited Mwereni School & Orphanage in Moshi in Tanzania where children with disabilities live and learn together.

A huge wall protects them from kidnappers.
