The rebranding initiative includes a new logo, website, social media presence, and updated messaging and outreach strategies that aim to increase awareness about the organization’s work and impact beyond the community of Persons with albinism (PWA), which our previous brand identity captured.

The Albino Foundation TAF was founded by Amb. Jake Epelle to lead advocacy for the end of discriminatory practices against Persons with albinism PWA in Nigeria and Africa which has been successful over the years and they have since extended their work to cover all clusters of disability even though it wasn’t clearly reflected in their mission and vision.
In order for them to capture that numerous successful works on disability inclusion in their mission and vision, they have rebranded to further and better drive disability inclusion.
