"House of Hope" in Conakry, Guinea is a center for children with albinism
A unique remote guardianship program has been launched. Anyone can become a guardian of an albino child who has been rescued from slavery and taken from the streets. For many of our remote parents, the children have become part of a family that they genuinely care about.
Sponsoring a child will cost €120 per month. This will be enough for food, clothing and basic necessities.

Mohamed
For the first time, Mila saw Mohamed on her way to the airport. She opened the car window and called out to him, wanting to stop, but the flow of traffic didn't allow her to do so.
Mila was looking for him, asking about him. When she came to Guinea again, in Conakry, she accidentally witnessed how a boy was thrown off a motorcycle in the middle of the street, right in front of passers-by. It turned out to be Mohamed!

The child was in a terrible state. Obviously he was beaten, his whole body was covered with old and new bruises and abrasions. His lips were bleeding. He was sitting on the curb of the road and shaking violently, as it turned out due to high fever.
The foundation was able to take him and other children out of slavery, where they were beaten and starved daily.
Now, Mohamed and the others live in the center of Conakry. He has a cozy house, a warm bed, and food. He goes to school and plays with his friends.

According to the story of the locals, Aminat's mother left her and went to another village. The girl was taken away by other people who thought she was a devil. Trying to expel evil from the baby, they tied her up and starved her. Then they put her out in the scorching sun to make money.
Aminat got to the Conakry center in a terrible condition: extremely malnourished, with limbs that did not work, blind and dirty. If she had not been taken away then, the child would have died a quick death.
During her stay at the center, Aminat recovered and managed to undergo rehabilitation and examinations in Senegal, in Dakar.
The progress has been tremendous! The girl's condition's greatly improved: she began to walk more confidently, chew solid food, and fell in love with music. She began to open up to the world and enjoy life like a normal little child surrounded by love and care.

Kareem is a boy with albinism, rescued from slavery. He was a tool for making money. He had no rights, was not considered a human being even by his family. The boy was sold by his own father.
He was forced to beg on the streets under the scorching sun. Kareem was well served because he looked bad and was very sick. He was hit by a car twice. The more pity a child arouses, the more money. His masters took advantage of that.
For a year, Mila negotiated to take the boy to the center. Everything possible was done, even military escort was involved. In the end, the child was saved.

She also said that the children were starved, never washed, and had to sleep on the dirty floor.

She was brought in by her parents, they didn't know exactly what had happened to their daughter.
Later, in the presence of a film crew from the M. Gorky Film Studio, Mamadam herself told her story.
The girl's story:
"When I was a little girl, about four years old, my uncle took me from my parents, settling me with him. Later the man told me that since I was an albino, I could earn money. I was brought to Conakry and given to some people who I had to live and work with.
I had to walk with a disabled blind man, carry him in a wheelchair and beg for alms.
There was another woman in the house, probably the man's wife. In the evening we returned home, gave her the money and went to our rooms.
I lived in a room with the other kids.
This blind man came to me, constantly touched me, raped me, hurt me. When I tried to tell the woman about it, she didn't believe me and beat me.
But then another albino girl was brought in, and this man came into our room in the evening and went not to me, but to her. At that moment, I ran out of the room to call his wife.
I shouted to her: "You don't believe me, but he's raping the second child right now!" A scandal broke out between the disabled man and his wife, and there was a fight. And I was threatened with death if I told anyone about what had happened to me. So I kept silent for a long time and decided to tell about it only when I got to the center.
I see: here I'm treated well, I'm loved, and I'm not afraid anymore, I really want to be free of it, it prevents me from living."
