1. Albinism Awareness & Advocacy (AAA)
PE-Kenya champions albinism awareness by passing on knowledge and understanding of this subject matter to all stakeholders in the albinism community and the public in general. Advocacy further heightens this by taking awareness to another level by speaking up and asking for specific actions to be taken for the albinism community. This is done through providing the right information and facts on albinism, empowering the albinism community at the base, conducting educative forums and lobbying to influence legislation and policies.
