Mwanza, Tanzania
Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix // At Lake View School, Rehema Hajji, nine, applies sunscreen to her younger sister, Fatuma, five, before they step into the sunlight. Sunscreen is expensive in sub-Saharan Africa, but nonprofit organizations, like Under the Same Sun, distribute it for free. Many people with albinism in Tanzania die of skin cancer before turning 40.

About one in 1,400 people in Tanzania is born with albinism and one in 17 carries the recessive gene. Its occurrence varies greatly throughout the world. In Europe and North America the rate is only one in 20,000. On the San Blas Archipelago off the Caribbean coast of Panama, the rate among the Guna people is a staggering one in 70. The image is part of my latest project for @ナショナルジオグラフィック, “The Perils of Pale,” in this month’s magazine and online. #albinism #tanzania #skin #genetics #photojournalism #moment #portrait #color #family #diversity #inmyskiniwin #education #sunscreen
