what is albinism?

Today in Fiji and the Pacific there
are people living with Albinism

Albinism is a genetic condition, which causes lack of pigmentation of the skin, hair and eyes. It also causes a very high risk of skin cancers and usually very poor vision, which can result in social isolation and stigma.

our main objective

WHAT IS OUR
ROLE IN FIJI?

The Fiji Albinism Project (FAP) was established in 2015.

FAP was established to promote positive changes in the attitude of the general public on health issues that negatively impact those with Albinism in Fiji, and to inform and support them where possible.

HOW WE CAN HELP

Yes, we have
already started

Raising awareness about sun dangers and early skin cancer detection is crucial for people with Albinism and the community.

Fiji’s partnership with the FAP, providing sunscreens for those with Albinism, is a groundbreaking initiative, setting a positive example for proactive healthcare globally.
