https://selfhelpafrica.org/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2024/02/IMG_0027-scaled.jpg25601792Nigerian mother Rose overwhelmed with joy when her son John was officially registered and has what looks to be a brighter future. Until John was two years old, he was invisible to the Nigerian authorities and missing out on access to vital state services, including health care. Living in a rural community in Cross River State, south Nigeria, miles from the nearest town, his mum Rose Enya had been unable to register his birth and was unaware of the benefits of doing so. But a door-to-door birth registration programme we established in partnership with UNICEF as part of the ‘Child-friendly Community Initiative’, means John and around 1,900 other children in the area are now officially registered and face a more certain future.
