With the elections in Zimbabwe taking place in August we were able to take advantage of a relaxation in the registration process as Registry Offices were keen to get people able to vote. In addition to adults who can vote now, we managed to refer over fifty children and a further thirty 16-21 year olds for birth certificates and national identity documents.
We’ve been active in the community; training Child Protection Committees, visiting people in their homes to give them advice and case support where they can’t come to us, and hosting legal advice clinics. Whist working in the same ward on a much needed nutritional garden project we took the opportunity to explain birth registration to those involved
All of these activities raise the profile and awareness of early birth registration and national identity registration. We are intent on building capacity in our communities to move towards a better future where lives are registered to formally exist and are subsequently empowered.
Thank you to all our donors and supporters for all you do to make this life changing work happen.
