Identifying the problems:

• A society where they look drastically different
• A culture that believes in the occult
  
  

• Protection from harmful sun rays
• Protection from witchdoctors 

Identifying the solutions:

• Education and information
   
  
  1. Teaching about albinism  in school curriculum
  2. Mainstream media exposure 
  3. Community outreach
     
     Education through media, informational brochures, cultural exercises, eg: what is albinism? Teaching people with albinism and their families how to protect themselves from cancers even if they lack resources for sun blocks and glasses. Explaining in a traditional scenario and local dialects that a person with albinism is not a magical person with supernatural powers, but just a regular human being who is born with a genetic disorder that causes their skin, eyes and hair to lose their regular pigmentation or the melanin that gives them color.
     
     Example: If people in Africa could understand or be taught from a tender age in schools that the source of albinism is  scientific and that it occurs in all races, animals and plants, the idea or false propaganda spread by witchdoctors would most likely disappear or be shunned by the general public as fictitious. Albinos would also learn to take care themselves by staying out of the sun, by understanding that they are not protected with the melanin of other black Africans, making them extremely susceptible to skin tumors and cancers.
      
• Healthcare and Prevention
   
  
  1. Providing free healthcare (skin and eye)
  2. Genetic testing sites for future parents 
  3. Distribution of preventative eyeglasses, sunscreens, and protective clothing (eg. Long-sleeved cotton shirts, pants, hats)
      

Recommended programs and projects

• General goals
   
  
  1. Albinism as part of basic school curriculum
  2. Media propaganda that explains what causes albinism 
  3. Teach people with albinism how to treat or protect themselves from cancer 
  4. Provide genetic testing for couples to know if they are carriers of the gene 
  5. Create a resource center and school that accepts all students with a priority of free education to people with albinism 
  6. Teach self-esteem classes 
  7. Teach social integration classes for people with albinism, their families and those interested in learning more. 
  8. Provide role models for people with albinism, specifically children 
  9. Provide viable career options for those with albinism (eg. Other than farm work or selling in the markets during peak sunlight hours, 10-2pm.) 
  10. Provide free treatment centers for people with albinism to test and treat skin cancers 
  11. Provide free vision and eye care of people with albinism
