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.
