Red Cross assists Albinos that are hunted for body parts. | Photo 02 by IFRC

Tanzanian albino children at a picnic organized by the Tanzania Red Cross Society. This school began to take in albino children late last year after two albinos were killed by people who believe their body parts, carried as charms, bestow good luck, part of a spate of such murders in the country. There are now nearly 50 albino children, youngsters and single mothers sheltering in this school, which also houses children with disabilities and hearing and sight problems. Photo: IFRC
