Community Engagement
Educating the public on human rights
Sparking conversations on the rights of individuals
We understand that a state will only produce leaders of its kind. So we tackle the root cause of crime, corruption and crisis in our society by engaging people in the grassroots talking to family heads, and others and how they can preserve a sane world by raising their children/wards as the kind of leaders they expect to have in different positions.
Access to justice
- We provide legal aid services to indigent inmates in correctional centres free of charge.
We represent those who cannot afford legal representation in court pro-bono.
Women's Rights
- Fight against domestic violence and abuse faced by women
- Capacity building through women education, skills acquisition and financial empowerment
