Over 100 million of people suffer from this skin disease daily, but there is no cure in sight. With focus on collaboration efforts, we can bring that number closer to zero.
Take action today and urge the UN Secretary-General to prioritize multilateral efforts in healthcare and education for this neglected disease.

A global event, World Vitiligo Day will kick off with a breakfast at VITSAF headquarters in Nigeria on June 25, 2012.

Here are some famous personalities, who suffer from vitiligo:

    June 25th is a significant date in the vitiligo calendar because it marks the passing date of pop-star Michael Jackson, a long-time vitiligo sufferer.
