Loyan Foundation

Loyan Foundation In 2005, the City of Toronto lived through the notorious “Summer of the Gun”. That year 52 people died as a result of gun violence.

The Loyan Foundation is a registered charitable organization based in Toronto, committed to eliminating violence—especially within the East African Canadian community. Third year York University student Loyan Gilao was out with a friend at a nightlclub when he was senselessly shot and killed. This killing galvanized the community and led to the formation of the Loyan Foundation

Since 2021, Loyan Foundation has continued this journey with a deep commitment to supporting individuals living with albinism in Somalia. Despite limited resources and challenges, our mission has always remained clear — to stand with a community that deserves protection, inclusion, and equal opportunity.

People with albinism in Somalia face extraordinary difficulties, including extreme climate conditions, limited access to healthcare and sun protection, social stigma, and lack of community support. These realities are what continue to drive our advocacy and community efforts every day.

Through our Somali Albinism Advocacy program, we are committed to raising awareness, fighting stigma and discrimination, and promoting education, protection, inclusion, and empowerment. We believe every individual deserves to live with dignity, safety, respect, and hope.

By supporting access to healthcare, education, and community awareness, we aim to create a safer and more inclusive future for individuals affected by albinism and their families. Together, we can continue building communities rooted in compassion, understanding, and positive change.

Reach out to support our mission and help us make a lasting impact.
