MISSION, VISION & AMBITION

OUR MISSION

Vitiligo Awareness International has been established to provide support to those who have a hard time dealing with the skin condition Vitiligo. The mission of our foundation is to guide this group through their journey in accepting their Vitiligo.  At this moment approximately 1-3 % of the world population has been diagnosed with this skin condition. People with this skin condition handle their changing appearances in different ways. Unfortunately, many tend to have negative feelings because of their Vitiligo. These feeling may differ from a negative self-image, suicidal thoughts, anti-social behavior or may even expierence severe (online) bullying. 

We have chosen to focus on this group; because everyone is worthy, no matter how different and unique someone is. With the foundation we want to support, guide and accompany them, to change their mindset to positive thoughts, feelings and experiences. 

 

OUR VISION

The foundation is committed to provide support and guidance regarding the mental health and a positive self-image of every single person, who is in need of such guidance or support. 

Our main focus are those who have been diagnosed with Vitiligo and find themselves suffering or struggling because of the skin disorder.

We aim to do this in several ways:

·       Creating positive (online) content on our website and social media

·       Creating merchandise and gifts to gain donations

·       Presenting the foundation globally

·       Involving international individuals to tell their story about their journey with Vitiligo

·       Publish seminars about positive mindsets and positive selfimage

·       Cooperate with other international foundations/organization/companies/individuals who contribute to the foundation’s mission, vision             and ambition

·       Organising (online) Q&A’s

OUR AMBITION

The mission of the foundation is to provide support to those who suffer from the skin disorder Vitiligo. Our ambition is to provide this support globally to reach every individual who needs this support and guidance.

Our aim is to be active in at least 20 countries by the end of 2029 with an international team!
