The Unregistered Existence: A Moral Mission to Establish Legal Identity

n a rapidly developing world, amid technological progress and enhanced fundamental rights, many individuals remain unregistered without any legal identity. They live without access to basic health care, education, welfare, or freedom of movement. This article explores the humanitarian mission of the Buddhajaksa Virtuous Community (ศพอ.–นศพ.), which extends its moral grounding to restore citizenship rights to the forgotten, using a collaborative “B–W–R” model (House–Monastery–School and State).From late 2023 to early 2024, field operations in Nong Nam Sai subdistrict (Sikhio District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province) facilitated DNA testing to verify lineage and re-establish legal documents. The approach involved multiple stakeholders families, local authorities, medical teams, and religious communities highlighting the financial, logistical, and structural challenges, such as lack of government funding, forensic capacity, and mobility issues among disabled individuals.This case exemplifies a holistic integration of community, religion, and state to restore not only identity documentation, but dignity and humanity to those marginalized.

Abstract

n a rapidly developing world, amid technological progress and enhanced fundamental rights, many individuals remain unregistered without any legal identity. They live without access to basic health care, education, welfare, or freedom of movement. This article explores the humanitarian mission of the Buddhajaksa Virtuous Community (ศพอ.–นศพ.), which extends its moral grounding to restore citizenship rights to the forgotten, using a collaborative “B–W–R” model (House–Monastery–School and State).From late 2023 to early 2024, field operations in Nong Nam Sai subdistrict (Sikhio District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province) facilitated DNA testing to verify lineage and re-establish legal documents. The approach involved multiple stakeholders families, local authorities, medical teams, and religious communities highlighting the financial, logistical, and structural challenges, such as lack of government funding, forensic capacity, and mobility issues among disabled individuals.This case exemplifies a holistic integration of community, religion, and state to restore not only identity documentation, but dignity and humanity to those marginalized.
