Discrimination against albinos is a serious problem throughout sub-Saharan Africa, but recently in Tanzania albinos have been killed and mutilated, victims of a growing criminal trade in albino body parts. Albinos have a genetic condition that impairs normal skin pigmentation and strikes about 1 in 3,000 people here. They are often shunned as outcasts and most die of skin cancer before they reach 30.
