(1)

Shade is a Christian organization empowering children, families, and communities affected by albinism and other vulnerabilities in Tanzania. Our vision is that people with albinism and other vulnerabilities are accepted and respected in their communities and live as productive citizens, safe and free from persecution. Education: We are building Shade School, a place of unity amidst diversity, wher

e all children are accepted and valued. Advocacy: We believe that mindsets can be changed through education and awareness-raising. We aim to educate people on the truths of albinism and fight for their rights in society. Outreach: We aim to be fully present in our community in order to love and empower our neighbors holistically. All of Shade’s work is infused with the Gospel message. True transformation will come when all people experience the forgiveness of Jesus towards them, the Father heart of God revealed to them, and the empowering work of the Holy Spirit guiding them. When faced by the power of God’s love, violence and prejudice against people with albinism will not stand.

Today, we're celebrating International Albinism Awareness Day!

This year's theme, "Proudly In My Skin: Celebrating All Skin Tones," is an invitation to us all to celebrate the unique and beautiful ways we were created. It's an affirmation that those with albinism are not curses, myths, or oddities. They are people created with intention and purpose, worthy of love and respect.

Everyone deserves to feel seen and celebrated, and that change can start with us.

Be a part of the change today by dropping a comment to complete this sentence: "I am proud in my skin because..." and share this post with your friends!

Please join us in prayer for one of our students, Emmanuel.

He's undergone multiple corrective surgeries on his legs, and his next surgery is scheduled to take place tomorrow.

Please pray for wisdom for his medical team, peace for Emmanuel and his family, and swift healing over his body.
