BBC Radio 4 Appeal on Birth Registration

Donate today to secure birth certificates - BBC Radio 4 Appeal

Almost 50% of Zimbabwean children lack birth certificates. Without legal identity, these children are denied the right to access healthcare, complete school, exercise their right to vote, or receive legal protection. This exclusion traps families in cycles of poverty and marginalisation. Through our partnership with Trinity Project Zimbabwe, we provide legal, logistical, and advocacy support to ensure children secure their rightful documentation.

One of the most fundamental and impactful things you can do. Help us end Zimbabwe's birth registration crisis now.

    Securing birth documentation for vulnerable children and families involves bottom-up and top-down approaches. We work with families such as Precious (seen above) to gather evidence and submit the required paperwork. We speak with communities to increase their understanding and valuation of birth registration. We collaborate with stakeholders to ensure more joined-up service delivery. We liaise with institutions and duty bearers to hold them to account and press for improvements in process, policy and law.

    Ensuring people exist legally gives them a chance in life. This appeal was voiced by Africa Brooke on BBC Radio 4.
