Through this event, GOBS Foundation in partnership with MULIA Foundation and Herona Hospital Uganda anticipates to raise funds for the purchase of cryo guns to help in the early detection of pre-cancerous cells and subsequently burning them down hence reducing on the cancer death rates among people with albinism. This will add onto the existing efforts of the partnered organization (SNUPA) that currently owns the single cryogen gun used by close to 5,000 persons with albinism across the country.
