🎗️ International Albinism Awareness Day 2025 – Benin City, Edo State
This year's celebration was more than symbolic—it was transformational.
The Initiative for Advancement of the Albinism Cause brought the community together for a day filled with purpose:
🔬 Free Skin & eye check-ups
🧴Distribution of free sunscreen lotions
📢 A bold call: include sunscreen in the WHO Essential Medicines List
Because protection isn’t a luxury—it’s a right. For persons with albinism, sunscreen is a health necessity, not a cosmetic.
Special thanks to Ralph Akpalaba and his team for the free eye screening and many others who supported the programme.
Let’s keep the momentum going—for awareness, for advocacy, and for action. 💪🏾
