LET'S BUILD A HOME FOR KABULA AND CHILDREN WITH ALBINISM
Join our initiative and together we will complete the construction of a home in Tanzania.

In the 21st century in Tanzania, people are hunting people. People with albinism live there in constant fear of persecution and death. They cannot count on education, or medical and legal assistance. Therefore, as soon as possible, we must COMPLETE THE BUILDING OF A HOME where Kabula and other people with albinism can finally feel safe!

Kabula also lived in fear, but her life changed in 2014, when Martyna flew to Tanzania to make the TV show "WOMAN AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD" and the documentary "Ghost People". After months trying, thanks to the support of the Association of African Missions, Martyna became the formal guardian of Kabula, and thanks to the funds raised by TVN viewers through the "Between heaven and earth" foundation that brings together Polish lawyers, Kabula is now safe and can fulfill her dreams.

But we also wanted to help other kids who are struggling with exclusion on various levels. The project has been in the works by the Association of African Missions for several years. The UNAWEZA Foundation plans to collect the missing 450,000 zł. These are funds needed to complete the construction of a house for Kabula and the other children.

Father Janusz Machota, regional director of the Association of African Missions (SMA) in Tanzania, who oversees the house building process, reports on the project implementation:

- We managed to create an architectural plan, obtain the necessary permits, and bring the electrical and water installations to the plot. As almost the entire construction site is covered with rocks, we had to level it with dynamite and by hand. With such a terrain, pouring the foundations was demanding, labor-intensive and, unfortunately, expensive - says Fr. Janusz.

- The house will ultimately be a haven for a dozen girls and boys suffering from albinism, who will attend good local high schools from there. They will also be covered by specialist medical care, in particular for their eyes and skin, which are extremely vulnerable to burns and cancer - adds Fr. Janusz.

It is also intended to be a place to promote and protect the population affected by albinism, especially children and young people, and to combat the causes of prejudice, violence and marginalization of people with albinism in the local community. The future lawyer Kabula will also have her official office there!

- Certainly we will not suddenly change the whole situation, but it will be a concrete brick in building a better and more just world - adds Fr. Janusz.
