In Kenya, 80% of children in conflict with the law lack access to justice. Lack of legal representation effectively denies them their constitutional right to a fair trial. Further, children in conflict with the law are denied their inherent right to education. Protecting this right offers them the chance to rebuild their lives, escape poverty and reduce recidivism.

 

All donations help us provide free legal representation, psychosocial support, skills development and global advocacy through the Wakili.sha Podcast. We are duly registered as a non-profit in Kenya – Company Limited by Guarantee.
