SPF Kenya
Sunscreen
What to look for, what is available locally and internationally, and how to access government-supported supply through NASSP.
What to look for
SPF 50+
Anything below SPF 30 is not adequate for skin without melanin.
Broad spectrum
Must cover UVA as well as UVB. Look for the wording on the label.
Water resistant
Matters in heat and during work or sport, but still needs reapplying.
Volume
Daily full-body use gets through a tube quickly. Cost per month is the number that matters.

NASSP
The National Albinism Sunscreen Support Programme
NASSP provides sunscreen support through participating government hospitals. For many people it is the difference between protection being a monthly expense and protection being possible at all.
UVSafe's job here is navigation: which hospitals participate, what to bring, who to ask for, and what to do if you are turned away.
