Kenya on Saturday joined the world in marking International Albinism Awareness Day during the 80th anniversary celebrations of Thika School for the Visually Impaired.
Observed annually on June 13, the day was marked under the theme, "Proudly in My Skin: Celebrating All Skin Tones." This year’s theme highlights the impact of colour-based discrimination on dignity, safety and mental well-being.
Speakers at the event noted that while Kenya has made significant progress in promoting awareness and support for persons with albinism, challenges remain, especially in the provision of sunscreen lotion.
