Undocumented
Thousands of children born in informal settlements have no birth certificate, and therefore no school, no clinic, and no legal age.
Education programme
We do not only write about these children. We teach them.
A child who can describe her own conditions is harder to overlook. So alongside reading and maths, we teach children to report.
