Demystifying albinism in Sierra Leone
This project brought together the expertise of Medical Assistance Sierra Leone, the Sierra Leone Albinism Association, and Professor Charlotte Baker (Lancaster University) to challenge misconceptions about albinism in Sierra Leone. The project used interviews and photography to create an awareness campaign to promote better understanding of albinism, reduce stigma and enable people with albinism to take basic measures to improve their health outcomes. The project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (UK).
