About this grant
This grant will support increased access to justice for poor and marginalized people in Rwanda.

The grantee will conduct trainings for paralegals, hold legal aid clinics and strengthen its technology to provide justice services. Past support has helped the grantee to reach 2,551,809 beneficiaries through legal representation in and out of court, legal education of communities and training of paralegals. The Legal Aid Forum was established in 2009 with a mission to provide and promote equitable access to justice for indigent and vulnerable persons in Rwanda.
