Vision: To eradicate the stigma on Vitiligo in South African communities and beyond Organisation Overview Beyond Vitiligo is an organisation established in 2011 in a bid to fight stigma on Vitiligo in South African communities and beyond. The organisation was found and coined by Gaone Petronella Tlhong. This organisation was established through life experience of living with Vitiligo to assist those with Vitiligo and those affected to accept this skin condition which is associated with severe emotional trauma.
