    (Under The Same Sun - UTSS, 2011) Possi, Mwajabu K.; Mboya, Gamariel; Tetema, Vicky N
    This 2011 UTSS study was conducted to assess the co nditions of the government designated centres for the displaced PWA where they live with children with other disabilities following a wave of macabre killings of persons with albinism. The study also looked into conditions of the individuals in the centres in terms of quality of the services rendered to them. Issues on focus included the care which was rendered to PWA in thecentres, basic needs and human rights, their safety, security and whether they would like to maintain family ties. The study explored the nature of services and how such services were provided by the general staff, care givers, doctors,social welfare officers as well as the district and regional educational officers.
