Save 50 children from statelessness in SouthAfrica
Organization information
Lawyers for Human Rights
Location: Pretoria, South Africa
Summary
A stateless child is a child who is not recognised as a citizen of any country in the world. Lawyers for Human Rights helps stateless children (especially orphaned/abandoned) living in South Africa to access their right to a birth certificate & citizenship. We use legal representation, DNA testing, litigation, training & outreach to help children get birth certificates & ID documents. These documents allow them to access basic rights such as education & healthcare while preventing statelessness.
