Our Programs

Four pillars of protection for every family.

From free courtroom representation to community rights education, our programs are designed to meet families where they are — at no cost to them.

Case Documentation & Policy Advocacy

Every case we handle becomes part of a larger evidence base. We document patterns of dispossession and use this data to advocate for legal reforms at state and national levels.

  • Systematic case data collection and analysis
  • Annual reports submitted to National Assembly
  • Partnerships with UN Women and African Commission
  • Model legislation drafting for state governments
  • Training for judges and magistrates on inheritance rights

Eligibility

Automatic for all clients who consent to data use. Optional participation.

  • Engagement with traditional and religious leaders
