Abyssinia Laws’ funders and the legal services they make possible!
We want generous funders, both public and private, to support Abyssinia Law work. Unlike most free legal aid programs, we still cover most of our funding from our pocket. However, we are proud that our support from foundations, government and educational institutions has grown recently.
Our partners provide essential support, expertise & outreach. If you are passionate about legal information and tackling access to justice challenges and would like to work together, sponsor us, share our story, or get involved, please do not hesitate to contact us!
Currently, we partner with:
Africa Justice Foundation and African Legal Information Institute
The African Legal Information Institute (AfricanLII) is a project of the Democratic Governance and Rights Unit (DGRU) at the Department of Public Law, Faculty of Law, and University of Cape Town. It was incubated at the Southern Africa Litigation Center (SALC).
AfricanLII's main goal is to promote Free Access to Law and Open Justice in Africa.
Subsidiary goals in support of this main goal are to:
AfricaLII works with partners in Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Seychelles, South Africa, Sierra Leone, Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
This will ensure our aim to build meaningful relationships with governmental and non-governmental organs. Furthermore, we are working with our Partners to bring more transparency and build up access to justice with quality information.
Abyssinia Law is a member of the World Free Access to Legal Movement (FALM).
