Our Pillars
Three commitments that guide every program and campaign we run.
EDUCATION
As an NGO dedicated to promoting awareness and education about albinism, we believe that it is essential to educate people about this genetic condition to combat the discrimination and stigma that people with albinism may face. We educate people through our events and social media campaigns.
ADVOCACY
We are dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of people living with albinism, we believe that it is crucial to work towards a world that is more inclusive and accepting of diversity. We stand with people living with albinism in their fight against discrimination, stigmatization, and violence.
EMPOWERMENT
We believe in promoting their rights and supporting them to achieve their full potential. In order to help our beneficiaries live a holistic life, we provide empowerment training and support them with umbrellas, sunscreen creams, and other important needs.

A look at the campaigns and initiatives we've brought to life.
Unravel (School Sensitisation Campaign)
We desire a school environment void of stigmatisation and discrimination plus an inclusive teaching-learning process for students and pupils with albinism. Teachers, school authorities and classmates were the target of the school tour. We handed out our educational bilingual calendars bearing meaningful information about albinism.
Pamper to Protect
BTD's desire for awareness, equality and inclusion for persons with albinism engineered the creation of the documentary titled 'Pamper to Protect' under the sponsorship of the Canadian High Commission of Cameroon through the CFLI project. It brought to light ills committed against persons with albinism and debunked myths surrounding albinism. It premiered on Saturday February 25 at Fini Hotel Bobende-Limbe.

Words alone can't express how deeply appreciative and glad I am to be a member of BTD Foundation.

The Foundation has made me love myself more and I can proudly say — if I had the opportunity to relive life, I would love to be a person with albinism.
