With our foundation/ fundraising we support the save house “Mary Mother of God“ in Lamadi, a small town in Tanzania. Where people with albinism have been rejected by their parents or rescued from hunters and where they are cared for and educated.  Unfortunately, there is little to no money for food or doctor’s fees if someone becomes ill. There is also no possibility to continue studying when someone is old enough for secondary school. We hope through our efforts that this will no longer be a problem for these kids.

Unity For Albinism also supports the “Albinism in Africa Foundation” which fights against skin cancer in Africa for people with Albinism. This foundation receives many sunscreens sponsored by different brands but does not have the financial support to ship the containers with sunscreens to these countries.

Unity for Albinism helps raise funds to ship these containers to Africa so that people with albinism will be protected against skin cancer.

Last year, Juliette traveled to Nepal to give those Hair and Make-up classes. Her goal was not only to grow the hair and make-up skills of those women but also to grow their self confidence.

The women trained by Hairdressers Without Borders live under very bad conditions. In the slums, the streets are full of plastic and other waste and the houses are not hygienic and safe to live in. For Juliette it was heartbreaking to see these women live under these circumstances. At the same time, this gives her extra strength to dedicate herself twice as much to this foundation and to contribute to the development of women.
