Doctors’ Fellowship aims to empower albino community in Tanzania

Service in Action

By Dr. John Philip, Past District Governor and Chair of the International Fellowship of Rotarian Doctors

Albino FamilyThree years ago I was on the island of Ukerewe in Tanzania leading a Rotary project when I heard a child had been abducted and murdered. The child was an albino and was targeted by traditional healers. I was in utter disbelief when I discovered traditional healers, sometimes called witch doctors, target albinos to use their body parts in ritual practices, which they claim bring wealth and good luck. The Tanzanian government banned witch doctors in January 2015.

That’s when I decided I wanted to takeaction.

The last sentence on that page of The Rotarian encouraged those interested in forming a new fellowship to contact rotaryfellowships@rotary.org
