Empowering communities with legal knowledge at the center of NLAS legal aid clinics
Ignorance to the law is no defense and unless a person is aware of the provision, they will be held liable for failing to comply.
Creation of legal awareness fills the gap by informing the public of the legislations in place and how the same legislation affect their day to day running.
It is the reason why NLAS values access to legal information which is crucial in ensuring that citizens comply with the law and are aware of their legal rights.
In Kisumu County, our team engaged and trained more than 120 residents on legal rights while inmates at the Kisumu Maximum Prison received training on legal representation.
