A woman gives a haircut to another female resident while their children prepare for dinner at the Kabanga Protectorate Center and School in the northwest corner of Tanzania. The center is a safe haven for people with albinism, who face discrimination as well as serious health risks, like skin cancer and blindness. Originally a school for children with disabilities, the center now shelters about 80 people with the genetic disorder that hinders the body’s ability to produce pigment. That’s roughly one-third of its residents.
