Legal Support Services
This Access to Justice program focusses on providing legal aid, education, and paralegal training services to persons in underserved communities and those in prison. Leveraging on technology and building the capacity of our community based legal support centers, this program empowers its beneficiaries with knowledge of their constitutional and legal rights and responsibilities to promote the rule of law and equitable access to justice.
Its advocacy revolves around legal and policy work on criminal justice reforms and abolition of the death penalty.
Why do we do it?
- Communities that are ignorant about the law
- Innocently incarcerated inmates.
- Policies and systems that oppress the underserved in societies.
- Communities that can not afford legal representation.
