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.
