About Standing Voice
Standing Voice (SV) is a registered Tanzanian NGO with an established track record delivering holistic interventions to defend the rights of persons with albinism in Africa. Since 2006 there have been 206 documented killings of people with albinism across 29 African countries and a total of 572 attacks, fuelled by misguided witchcraft beliefs.

Frequently social exclusion marginalises these individuals from essential health and education services resulting in a social crisis.
Our core programmes in Health, Education, Advocacy, and Community Development reach thousands of people with albinism across Tanzania, and have been accessed by people with albinism from 29 African countries. Our team has over 10 years’ experience in this issue, building scalable best practices geared toward local capacity development and government replication.
