Sandrine is 16 years old and lives in the province of Rutana in Burundi. She has seven siblings and studies in the fifth form at her local school. Tragically, for much of her life, Sandrine has endured constant threats and regularly feared for her life. This is because, along with two other siblings, she is Albino.
