Children born with albinism in Tanzania live in constant danger of being attacked by people looking to profit from superstitious beliefs. ~0.005% of people are born with albinism, lacking pigment in their hair, skin, and eyes. In Tanzania, albino body parts are highly valued in witchcraft and can fetch a high price.
superstition and savagery are still far too common in africa.
