This photographic essay is the result of several weeks spent in Tanzania with children affected by albinism, a condition that makes them extremely vulnerable to the sun. In this arid country, skin cancer often claims their lives before the age of 40.

But the sun is not their only threat. Their skin and organs are the target of a macabre trade. These unimaginable killings stem from a grim mix of ignorance, ancient beliefs, and greed. This constant danger forces people with albinism to live in fear of being attacked.
