The initiative, led by UNICEF's new Representative Andy Brooks, aimed to ensure that no child is left without a legal record of birth. The village, home to over 3,000 residents, engaged in a registration exercise and community ceremony showcasing the importance of such documentation. Lack of birth registration can hinder a child's access to essential services and basic rights, including education. Speaking during the event, UNICEF emphasized the critical role of universal birth registration, with the musician using his platform to encourage parents and communities to prioritize this crucial step for every child.
