Albino Student: I Was Denied Entry To Five Schools
A 15-year-old albino student has told the BBC about her struggles to find a place at a secondary school in Kenya. Despite her top grades, five schools rejected Winnie Jelimo. One school openly said they wouldn't give her a place because of her albinism. "I felt very bad because they were admitting others but didn't admit me to school," she told the BBC's Focus on Africa. She says it was a shock to her as she had not come up against such open discrimination before. "Albinos can also learn and be like others… Albinism is just a colour, everything else is the same," the teenager said.
