“We have attained much as family of people living with albinism, we can now access sunscreen lotions with much ease in public hospitals and the perception, stigma and attitude towards us has changed greatly and we can now be appreciated as any other human being though it is still there but very minimal,”  said MCA Wanyonyi

He added that they no longer get threats that they can be hijacked killed and their body parts be sold for certain use for nowadays they can walk and mingle with other Kenyans and can now access education and medication without struggle.
