Yet for thousands of children, life begins without the key to education, healthcare, and protection: a birth certificate.
Help a child get registered. Donate now.
Thousands of children and families in remote communities are still without a birth certificate.
With your help, we can bring birth registration closer to those who need it most.
Your donation registers one child. Every child registered is a child who can enter school and receive healthcare and protection.
“The teacher told me that I had to submit the birth certificate within three months or Arsida wouldn’t be allowed to proceed with her schooling.”
Arsida and her family live in Sulu. While fishing is the primary livelihood in their community, she dreams of becoming a teacher.
The biggest barrier keeping her from pursuing her dream is the lack of a birth certificate.
For some farming and fishing families, birth registration has never felt urgent because their livelihoods did not require official documents.
But today, their children need them to pursue education, employment, and opportunities beyond their communities.
Through UNHCR’s mobile birth registration initiatives, children and families in remote communities are finally receiving birth certificates that can help open doors to school, healthcare, employment, and bigger dreams for their future.
Arsida already got her birth certificate!
With your help, more children can take their first step toward a future filled with possibilities.
