While marking World Vitiligo Day on June 25th the Royal patches foundation came together to commemorate this day in a beauty pageant.
Vitiligo is an auto-immune skin condition where the skin has white patches caused by the immune system attacking the healthy body cells that produce melanin.
While speaking in an interview with Tom Radido the secretary at the foundation, he told us what exactly they do and how it began.
The Royal patches foundation is a foundation that was formed by a group of friends with vitiligo in 2017.
It was then legally registered under the government and got certification in 2021.
With a passion and common interest in modeling, they decided to start a club that would feel like home to people with vitiligo.
Royal patches foundation is also home to people with other diverse special immune conditions.
The foundation has held modeling events each year to be able to commemorate the celebrations of world vitiligo day.
Their main aim is to create awareness and clear the misconception that is centered around people diagnosed with vitiligo.
