What we do
Albino Empowerment Foundation aims to improve the quality of life for individuals with albinism and promote acceptance and understanding of this genetic condition.
Here are some of the things we do to achieve our goal:
Awareness:
One of the most significant barriers to achieving equality for individuals with albinism is the lack of awareness and understanding about the condition. Hence we raise awareness through social media, schools and outreach programs to help dispel myths and stereotypes about albinism and promote greater acceptance and inclusion.
Educational Support:
Children with albinism may face unique challenges in school, such as difficulty seeing the board or sensitivity to bright lights. We look to provide educational support, including resources for teachers, specialized equipment, and tutoring services.
Medical Assistance:
Individuals with albinism are more susceptible to certain medical conditions, such as skin cancer and vision problems. An Albino Foundation may provide access to medical care, including vision screenings, dermatology services, and referrals to specialists.
Social Support:
We provide social support for individuals with albinism and their families, including counseling services, support groups, and social events.
Advocacy
As a strong voice, we advocate for the rights of individuals with albinism through public speaking engagements, policy shaping, government inclusion, community outreach programs, and other lobbying efforts.
Empowerment
We recognize that employment gives an inner strength to lead a better life. We strengthen the unique abilities and talents of individuals with albinism and provide them with the resources, support and opportunities required to develop and excel in their chosen fields. Through Mentorship, Access to technology, Employment Opportunities and Entrepreneurship.
