Under the blazing East African sun 7,000 to 10,000 people live with albinism in Malawi, these people are at risk. People with albinism in Malawi face social stigma and isolation, alongside physical challenges like vision or skin problems. The main danger, is the primitive idea that their bones can make others rich or cure sickness. In Malawi, the condition is more common than anywhere in the world. Witch doctors use their organs for ‘medicines’ that are sold at huge prices. Their bodies are considered to contain ‘healing power’ and can increase wealth and influence.
