residents, there are only 20 dermatologists.

DEFEATING SKIN CANCER

In Mozambique, the lack of melanin in the skin of people with albinism transforms the sun into a vital threat. There are currently around 30,000 people suffering from albinism in the country, a rate 10 times higher than in Europe or North America. In addition, the scarcity of dermatologists makes the treatment of their lesions very complicated, leading to many ending up suffering severe cases of skin cancer.

To combat this tremendous injustice, we have joined ISDIN and the Fundación África Directo in a comprehensive project to support people with albinism, through which healthcare, treatment and surgery for sun lesions, and education on photoprotection will be provided to this at-risk group.

As a brand founded by a dermatologist, our mission to protect skin knows no borders; for this reason, we are joining this cause by contributing what we do best: protecting skin and educating about the risks of inadequate exposure.

OUR GRAIN OF SAND

WE DONATE UPF50+ T-SHIRTS TO PROTECT THEIR FUTURE

At Badawii, we believe that being able to enjoy a peaceful and healthy life should not be a matter of resources, and for this reason, we have not stood idly by and have decided to get involved in this wonderful project to help people with albinism in Mozambique.

We have donated UPF 50+ sun protection shirts to Africa Directo, which will be distributed among the albino population during the next expedition to the country. These garments will help these individuals have a physical barrier that protects them from the sun during their daily activities.

WE JOIN THE EXPEDITION

In addition, our founder and dermatologist Micaela Churruca, will personally travel to Mozambique to join the medical expeditions.

Micaela will work alongside the ISDIN and África Directo volunteer team, conducting dermatological examinations, diagnosing lesions, and personally delivering the protection these families need.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Badawii acts as a spokesperson for this cause, but project coordination and fieldwork depend on the Fundación África Directo.

If you want to join this wonderful initiative, we invite you to make a donation directly to the foundation. Every euro is entirely used to finance surgeries, treatments, and expeditions that save lives every day.
