The story of Massé World began with a vision to address the profound challenges faced by people with albinism and vitiligo in the United States, Africa, and Southeast Asia. These communities often experience deep-rooted social stigma, discrimination, and limited access to essential resources. Founded by individuals who recognized the urgent need for advocacy and support, Massé World was born from a commitment to giving people living with these conditions a voice and empowerment.
At its core, Massé World started with a simple but powerful idea: to foster understanding, build acceptance, and provide practical support to individuals with albinism and vitiligo. Recognizing that the journey toward social change requires a multi-faceted approach, our founder, Raissa Levy, set out to shape an organization that would address both immediate needs, like access to healthcare, educational support, and mental health resources, and long-term goals, such as social acceptance and legislative protection.
Massé World expands its reach by creating partnerships with local communities, healthcare providers, policymakers, and researchers. Programs are developed to equip people with skills for economic independence, mental health resilience, and social empowerment. Alongside these programs, we launched initiatives to educate the public, dispel myths, and provide accurate information about albinism and vitiligo.
Massé World’s vision grows stronger with each milestone. We aim to bridge the gap between those affected by albinism and vitiligo and the broader world as we strive to create inclusive societies that celebrate diversity and respect the dignity of all individuals.
Our journey continues, driven by the belief that every person deserves acceptance, opportunity, and the chance to fully enjoy life without discrimination or fear.
