About this grant
The organization’s goal is to increase access to justice for poor and marginalized people in Kenya. To this end, the Kituo Cha Sheria Legal Advice Centre will work with a network of community paralegals to provide access to justice services, undertake strategic litigation, research relevant areas of justice provisions and legal empowerment, monitor the implementation of alternative justice systems, and participate in regional and continental efforts to promote access to justice. Past support allowed the grantee to provide justice services to approximately 8,000 people and reach 1.5 million people in awareness-raising activities. The grantee worked with 400 community paralegals across 27 community justice centers. The Kituo Cha Sheria Legal Advice Centre is the oldest organization of its kind, having celebrated its 50th year of existence in 2023.
