Where to begin?
Children born outside Bubi and Umguza district without birth confirmation records are now being assisted regardless of their birth place. In the past the Registrar would send people back to the place of birth to gain a birth confirmation record and pursue the registration locally. Now the Registrar is willingly contacting a hospital to confirm the birth and from there birth registration is initiated. This plays an important role in removing transport costs as well.
Schools nationwide are no longer withholding access to basic education from children without documentation, a policy change that has led to clear improvements. Children can now attend school while their birth registration is being resolved, reducing exclusion and disruption, easing pressure on families, and ensuring that lack of paperwork is no longer a barrier to learning.
Case support home visits are now often conducted alongside Child Protection Committee members and Village Heads, who identify community members without birth certificates and reach out to Trinity Project for support. This demonstrates a positive shift, with communities taking an active role in helping each other secure national documentation and supporting one another in accessing essential services.
Thanks to you all - and happy new year.
