Kulwa, 21, is one of many Tanzanians with albinism who was attacked for her body parts.
At least 74 people with albinism, including children, have been murdered in the country since 2000, with many more having limbs hacked off as a result of attacks. Witch doctors and others have profited from trading their body parts, which are believed to harness magical powers.
After surviving the attack, Kulwa joined a safe house, run by the organisation Under The Same Sun, where she learned vocational skills and started her own knitting business.
