Vojtěch Kundrát from the Faculty of Chemistry at Brno University of Technology is behind the ongoing project of sustainable sunscreen production for the albino population in Ghana. A year ago, through hithit, he and his colleagues raised money to develop and produce sunscreen lotion under the auspices of Engage Now Africa!
The albino population of Africa does not have the means to protect themselves from the sun and often suffers from skin problems leading to skin cancer. Now, the cream is manufactured and distributed by the albino community around and beyond Ghana for communities with insufficient skin pigment problems.
