Being an albino in Africa is not only difficult but also very dangerous.
There is a real “hunt” on them in Tanzania and Burundi.
People believe that the body parts of albinos bring wealth and luck.
For example, fishermen are making fishing nets out of their hair because they believe it will bring abundance and lots of fish.
International organizations offer camps where albinos can live and be protected.
