Greeting from ZET and Trinity Project!
This is just a quick update to let you know how your donations are continuing to support hundreds of children in Bulawayo to access the legal documents they need to enrol in school and sit public examinations!
Every child in Zimbabwe needs a birth certificate. Children without birth certificates are not only excluded from education, but later in life are excluded from formal employment (which requires a national identiry card, which cannot be obtained without a birth certificate). To raise awareness of the importance of birth registration and to support families with the process, we held 28 legal advice clinics in the first three months of 2016.
In these months, 83 children obtained birth certificates! In addition, families were helped to obtain the death certificates of deceased parents, allowing children to access their parent's pensions which enabled them to pay school fees.
We have continued to run weekly Kids Clubs, providing sport, drama, crafts, and other fun activities for children, as well as givign us a platform for them to learn about their human rights (including the right to a birth certificate!). In three months alone, we ran 70 Kids Clubs, reaching over 4,600 children!
Let’s give the children of Zimbabwe the chance of a better life. Please keep supporting Trinity Project.
Many thanks
