EFPA was initially registered as a community based organization in 2010 and later registered as an NGO in 2015 to advocate for rights for persons with albinism in the Elgon sub region. This organization was established upon the background that Persons with Albinism face multiple barriers, often stigmatized and discriminated against hence the need to bring them together, helping them know they are not alone and change the prejudice and attitudes about their condition. Persons with albinism are a vulnerable group that faces multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination just because of who they are. Their rights to life, physical integrity, liberty, security, equality and non-discrimination, health, education, and an adequate standard of living are often severely threatened. Witchcraft-related beliefs practices myths and superstitions have influenced serious violations of human rights of persons with albinism in many parts of the world.
