About Tunisian Vitiligo Association

Founded in 2015, the Tunisian Vitiligo Association is a national non-profit organization dedicated to uniting and empowering people living with vitiligo in Tunisia. Since its inception, the Association has become a key platform for connection, information-sharing, and advocacy—bringing together individuals, families, and health professionals to improve the quality of life for those affected by the condition.

The Association has built a strong and engaged community, with approximately 1,200 registered members on its website and a broader network of around 8,000 followers across social media platforms. Through these channels, it offers education, shares the latest research developments, and encourages open dialogue about vitiligo to reduce stigma and foster self-acceptance.

A major focus of the Tunisian Vitiligo Association is bridging the gap between local healthcare providers and the global research community. It actively works to connect Tunisia’s dermatological university hospitals with leading international researchers, enabling knowledge exchange and fostering collaboration on studies, treatment approaches, and potential breakthroughs.

The organization’s mission goes beyond medical connections—it is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where people with vitiligo can share experiences, learn from one another, and find emotional support. Through public awareness campaigns, community events, and educational initiatives, the Association aims to dismantle misconceptions about vitiligo and promote understanding within Tunisian society.

By combining community support, scientific collaboration, and public advocacy, the Tunisian Vitiligo Association plays a vital role in advancing both awareness and research efforts in the region. Its vision is clear: to ensure that every person with vitiligo in Tunisia has access to accurate information, compassionate care, and a strong sense of belonging.
