COUNT EVERY CHILD INITIATIVE

Count Every Child Initiative

The Count Every Child Initiative, launched by Clever Minds Educational Foundation in partnership with the National Population Commission (NPC), addresses the critical issue of undocumented children in the Iyara community of Warri, Delta State. This initiative ensures that vulnerable, orphaned, and underprivileged children are officially registered and provided with birth certificates. Without proper documentation, many children are excluded from accessing essential services like education, healthcare, and legal protection, making this program a vital step in safeguarding their rights and identity.

By equipping these children with a valid identity, the initiative not only provides access to fundamental services but also empowers families by raising awareness of the importance of legal documentation. With over 300 children registered during the first phase, the project demonstrates a strong commitment to reducing inequality and creating pathways to a better future.
