Hi everyone We've almost reached 5000 signatures! Thank you for your kind support. Please keep sharing the petition and help children grow up with a sense of belonging and identity. Today, we want to share Allan's story with you. The story illustrates the difficult situations undocumented children can find themselves in if we do not intervene early enough. We need to act now to save children from a life of statelessness. (Follow the link to watch the film made by our colleague, Lotte Manicomb, advocacy officer at the Scalabrini Centre of Cape Town.). How can you help? We are excited to share that soon you will be able to donate funds to individual children's case by sponsoring a child's DNA test (to prove citizenship) or Visa Facilitation Fee (for stateless children who need permanent residence) and toward litigation to declare the rights of individual children. You will also have the option of sponsoring outreaches to remote communities where children are at risk of statelessness. Leave a comment with your details if you would like to be updated on donor opportunities (big and small!).
