About this grant
The goal of the Community Advice Office Support Project is to increase access to justice for communities in the Gauteng province of South Africa. To this end, ProBono.Org will continue to work with community advice offices in Gauteng to provide justice services to poor and marginalized people. It will also continue to use its network of legal practitioners to provide backup legal support to community paralegals while organizing and conducting training on various aspects of the law. Past support has allowed the grantee to support advice offices in Gauteng with justice services while undertaking training and community outreach activities on various aspects of the law. ProBono.Org’s primary focus is to harness the skills and expertise of legal practitioners to deliver pro bono civil legal assistance to organizations working for social justice and to expand access to justice for low-income, vulnerable and marginalized communities.
