Miss Albinism courts PJ Powers

MISS Albinism Zimbabwe Trust (MAZT) has partnered with South Africa’s Khulisa Social Solutions (KSS) and musician-cum-social justice activist, PJ Powers, on a year-long project to inspire people with albinism (PWA) to embrace their unique identity through storytelling and resilience development programme in order to improve their well-being.

The three aim to develop an integrated movement to PWA who will be capacitated as master trainers and peer support workers as well as roll the programme out in communities and educate the public about the genetic disorder.

KSS founder Lesley Ann van Selm, who is currently in the country, told NewsDay Life & Style that the partnership was meant to improve the living standards of PWA.
