An Albino girl attends a mobile health clinic run by Zanzibar Outreach Program on the remote island of Tumbatu, in the Zanzibar archipelago. In Zanzibar and Tanzania, people with albinism have a life expectancy of 30 years—only 2% live until the age of 40. High mortality is due to epidemic rates of fatal skin cancer deaths. One in 4,000 Tanzanians suffer from Albinism compared with 1 in 20,000 people in the EU and US, where they have a normal life expectancy.
