Hilaria wanted to do an administrative procedure to solve the problem, but could not afford to pay the fee. MJB solved the case by doing the administrative procedure at a lower cost which Hilaria could afford. Within two weeks she had the right documentation. Now she can get the insurance, have her identity card, vote on the elections at the end of 2009, and will have access to other benefits as the Bono Juana Azurduy, which provides a monthly allowance for babies’ alimentation.

Hilaria is a mother of 5 children. Since ten years she has been trying to obtain her birth certificate. She did not manage however, since there are inconsistencies between the data in the registry books and on her documentation. On top of this, there is an error in her mother’s registration as well: the mother is registered as Juan instead of Juana.
Because she does not have a valid birth certificate, Hilaria cannot obtain an identity card, and because of this she does not have access to state health insurance for mothers and children when the children are under 2 years old.
