Every year millions of children are not registered at birth

A birth certificate protects children and gives them access to:

  • education
  • healthcare
  • property, and more

Plan's campaign is ensuring more children receive birth certificates for:

  • easier access to education & healthcare
  • protection against child labour & child marriage
  • defence against abuse & child trafficking
