Hundreds of people’s lives in remote Dien Bien province changed - TopicsExpress



          

Hundreds of people’s lives in remote Dien Bien province changed for the better last week thanks to Blue Dragon’s ID card registration campaign. Working with the local police, over 500 residents were registered and received their official papers - the oldest was 80! With the nearest government office 30 km away in the district capital, few residents in this isolated commune are registered at birth. An ID card means that they now qualify for government assistance and low interest bank loans; can enrol in school; have increased work options; and are less vulnerable to human trafficking. Everyone has the right to a legal identity, and Blue Dragon will continue to do more ID registration drives in the future.
