More Info

In Sierra Leone, persons with albinism frequently live under the shadow of discrimination, dangerous myths, and social exclusion. For many, navigating daily life without support can be a source of constant fear. Sarah’s Voice is proud to stand in solidarity with the Albinism Royal Foundation – Sierra Leone to change this reality.

International Albinism Awareness Day (IAAD), observed annually on June 13th, is a vital opportunity to advocate for protective policies and educate the public on equality. This year, the Albinism Royal Foundation is hosting a series of critical workshops, media campaigns, and community forums in the Bo District, designed to amplify the voices of those who are too often sidelined.

To ensure the success of this event, we are raising $2,014.65. These funds will directly empower the Foundation to lead a national conversation on inclusion and safety.

Budget Overview

We believe in transparency and mission-driven funding. Your contributions will cover the following operational necessities:

- Public Awareness ($690.50): Dedicated radio and TV airtime to debunk harmful myths, plus event banners and branded T-shirts to foster community unity.

- Event Logistics ($925.50): Rental of a secure venue, nutritious refreshments for 60 attendees, and essential fuel and lodging for event coordinators.

- Regional Advocacy ($451.90): Transportation for leaders traveling from six districts (Bo, Kailahun, Kenema, Moyamba, Freetown, and Pujehun) to coordinate our national advocacy strategy.

Sarah’s Voice and the Albinism Royal Foundation are committed to full financial accountability. Every dollar donated goes directly toward the event costs outlined above. Following the event, we will provide a comprehensive impact report to our donors, detailing exactly how the funds were utilized to create a more inclusive future for our community.

Your support does more than fund an event; it funds dignity. It helps shift the narrative from fear to education, and from isolation to a community of strength.

Please donate today and share this campaign with your network. Together, we can shed light on the truth and ensure the rights and protection of persons with albinism in Sierra Leone.

Thank you for standing with us. Your partnership is the catalyst for real change.
