The issue of birth registration rumbles on in Zimbabwe, contravening a basic human right and leading to a number of vulnerablities throuhout life including lack of access to education and denial of inheritance. In 2016 it was estimated that 2.4 million 0-17 year olds do not have their births registered. Our work in 2017 in Bulawayo estimated the percentage unregistered at 44%!
This quarter we're proud to share with you a simple case study for two children. Seen in the picutre, the outcomes of one beneficiary who, following legal advice and support offered by Trinity, was able to get her ID documents and birth certificate for herself and her younger brother. A brighter futre now awaits on a foundation of newly found security.
