Give a Child Identity: Birth Registration Africa

Introduction 

According to UNICEF, there are 1,4 million orphans in Zimbabwe alone, and 52% of them are without identification.Imagine not having access to education, healthcare or any basic services just because you don't have a birth certificate. A seemingly avoidable problem but unfortunately it is an issue that is rife in Zimbabwe, particularly amongst the rural communities and orphans. A number of factors contribute to this issue and the result is that children cannot study further due to lack of education, preventing them from gaining employment and breaking the cycle of poverty..

Report 

To simply fund a child' education or provide resources to educate them is great in the short term but does not tackle the root cause which is hindering children who cannot even become part of the already poor welfare system that exists. This project will not only provide children with an identity but also give them the opportunity to attend schools, access healthcare and apply for university, making them active contributors to society and the economy as well as educating others around them
