Children spend time together after school in their dormitory at the Kabanga Protectorate Center and School in Tanzania. Residents with albinism make up roughly one-third of the center’s population—and 60 percent of them are children. Though violence against children and adults with albinism has been a problem, these kids face an even greater threat: Skin cancer kills 98 percent of Tanzanians with albinism before they reach the age of 40.
