In 2025, World Vision Niger celebrated its 30th anniversary with a series of major events highlighting three decades of impact, partnerships, and hope. Present in Niger since 1995, the organisation has worked to sustainably improve the lives of children, families, and communities through programs in health, education, water, sanitation and hygiene, food security, and emergency response. The anniversary celebrations aimed to showcase achievements, strengthen relationships with partners, and inspire future generations to continue World Vision’s mission. Under the theme “Together for 30 Years, Together for the Future!”, the four-day program included a community celebration in Birni, an official dinner in Niamey, a virtual global partnership event, and activities with children at the REMAR orphanage.

This article highlights how 2,400 children in Bukanga Lonzo, Kwango Province, have officially received birth certificates thanks to advocacy efforts led by World Vision. Through its Citizen Voice and Action (CVA) approach, the organisation worked alongside local authorities, the civil registry and community partners to regularise the status of children who had never been registered at birth. The piece underscores the importance of legal identity as a gateway to fundamental rights, including access to education, healthcare and public services. It features testimonies from local leaders, judicial authorities and parents, illustrating both the legal significance and the emotional impact of receiving a birth certificate. Beyond celebrating the milestone, the article also raises awareness about the legal requirement to register children within 90 days of birth and calls for continued collaboration to ensure that every child is recognised, protected and given a fair start in life.
