We enable young people build ownership around safety, justice and social-economic issues.
Around the world, access to justice for the poor and underrepresented remains a mirage. Alarming high crime and youth incarceration rates in Kenya, where 75% of prisoners are below 30 years of age inspired Peter to seek to build a movement that directly dealt with access to justice, crime, and delinquency.
Our approach
We passionately believe in the transformative impact the power of second chances has on individuals and communities. Our approach that focuses on children and both the young and adults in communities and prisons is premised on three pillars:
Awareness Creation
This priority area focuses on awareness raising and knowledge dissemination. It involves legal empowerment through in-person and online awareness sessions as well as life and soft skills mentorship. These ensure equitable access to justice for all and deterrence of crime among children and youth.
Skills Development and Application
This priority area centers on skills transfer through ICT training, paralegal training, entrepreneurship training and sports and talent development for socio-economic freedom and sustainable career building.
Behaviour Change
We focus on fostering behaviour change and holistic transformation of at-risk, and incarcerated individuals, especially young people. We do this through psychoeducation, as well as group and individual therapy sessions. This approach helps reduce incidences of criminal behaviour and recidivism among the target demographics.
