Lulu's Story

Lulu has albinism – a genetic lack of pigment in her skin, hair and eyes.

In Tanzania, people with albinism are often considered bad luck and ostracised by their families and communities. Worse still, others consider them good luck, which results in them being hunted and killed for body parts to use in witchcraft rituals and potions.

After three people disappeared from her village, Lulu’s parents sent her to live safely at Matumaini School. Lulu says, “I am most grateful to The Salvation Army for loving and caring for me like family; enabling me to pursue my ambition of becoming a lawyer. I dream of changing this mentality. I want to make the most of this great opportunity that I’ve been given and fight for human equality and justice.”
