Birth Registration & Education Access
A Name, a Story, a Future: Many people don’t realize that a simple piece of paper—a birth certificate—is the literal gateway to a child’s entire future, protecting them from being locked out of the formal school system. It is about dignity, legal recognition, and basic human rights. Without a birth certificate, a child cannot enter formal school.
Registration isn’t just a bureaucratic step. It gives a child a recognized name, honors their story, and officially secures their future. Your support helps make invisible children visible—opening the door to education.
Every Child Deserves to be Recognized
For some young IP children in Paluan, the absence of a birth certificate can become more than a missing piece of paper. It can become a barrier to formal education and access to services.
A child should not be kept from the opportunity to learn simply because the documents needed to enter the system are missing.
Helping a Child Be Recognized
Give a Child an Identity helps families navigate the process of obtaining the documentation their children need.
We hope to help identify children who lack birth registration, connect families with the appropriate agencies and requirements, and support them through the process toward documentation and, eventually, school enrollment.
Because sometimes, helping a child move forward begins with helping that child be officially recognized.
