one in 1400 people in tanzania have albinism
"My shocking story- Albino Island"
The Mathias Sisters
Eunice Mathias was hacked to death in front of her family (her dad was involved in the murder for profit but later arrested) because albino childrens body parts are sold by witch doctors for good luck and good health.
Vision problems are the worst thing for albinos
they desperately need sunblock, hats, and sunglasses.
light hurts their eyes and burns there skin badly, life expectancy is less that 40 years due to skin cancer
one mother lives in the Mukumbi lepor colony because she lives in fear that her albino baby will be cut up and murdered. she dies her infants hair black and hopes that the albino killers will be to scared to enter the lepor colony to kill the infant.
Semeni and Shida Mathias live miles away from the nearest villiage, outcasted for being albinos, living in fear fr being murdered for their body parts, their dad had part in the murder of their sister Eunice. they walk 2 miles a day in the sun, burning and blinded, to get nasty dirty drinking water that we would not even touch, risking their lives the whole way.
Sam Mluge of Tanzania also has albinism, him and Professor Brilliant were the first doctors to ever examine the Mathias sisters. Mary Mathias is the mother of Semeni and Shida, deserted by all relatives and friends because they dissaprove of albino children she bore, they have no protection from police either, at any moment she fears the killers will return and murder her daughters to sell their body parts. They are teenagers but have excessive aging skin due to sun exposure and severe burns and damage from the sun.
Every night Semeni says "The night has come, tonight we will die"
Matindo Elementary School is a school for albino children where they can be relatively safe from albino killers
