Abstract
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.
