There is lack of social protection, a very law education level, discrimination in community, stigma which result poverty among people with albinism, illiteracy, skin cancer and many other challenges; this is further exacerbated by prevailing social stigma and cultural attitudes. OIPPA advocates on behalf of its members for equal rights of person with albinism.
