The Comprehensive Care Programme for PWAs is an RDTC based programme, that was started in 1993 with the aim of assisting hundreds of PWAs (Persons with Albinisms)with prevention of cancer and treatment of complications.
In finding a sustainable way to provide the PWAs of Tanzania quality preventive measurements, the RDTCalso launchedthe Kilimanjaro Sunscreen Care Unit (KSPU) in 2012. The unit based in RDTC manufactures local of sunscreen lotions to be delivered free of charge to PWAs in Tanzania.
The KSPU offers a double advantage; it ensures the supplying of free sunscreen lotions to the PWAs through an initiative that is locally managed and therefore does not rely on external donations of commercial products. The KSPU also focuses on education of sun protection,building capacity among the beneficiaries (PWA) and key persons of the community such as health workers, teachers, matrons, care givers, etc.
