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.
