SHADE - Tanzania

Strong. Unique. Beautiful.

Our students with albinism are all of these things, and so much more.

This International Albinism Awareness Day, we're celebrating all skin tones and spreading the word that those with albinism are worthy of love, dignity, and respect.

International Albinism Awareness day is only 2 days away 💙

This year's theme, "Proudly In My Skin: Celebrating All Skin Tones," is a powerful reminder that people with albinism were created uniquely and purposefully. They deserve to not only be accepted, but embraced and celebrated.

Follow along to see why Shade students are proud in their skin.

Our 2026 Jack Grubbs Love in Action Memorial Challenge has officially wrapped up, and we couldn't be more thankful for our Shade community!

We set out to raise $40,000 to cover the cost of construction for new bathrooms on the Shade campus, and our LIAC participants and donors knocked that number out of the park.
