THE MAIN AREAS OF LAW
The organisation shall be guided by the Legal Aid Act, 2016 in providing legal aid. With reference to Section 35(1) of the Act, the organisation shall provide legal aid in:
Children Matters
Article 53 of The Constitution of Kenya recognises the right of all children to be protected from abuse, neglect, harmful cultural practices, all forms of violence, inhumane treatment and punishment, and hazardous or exploitative labour. It is therefore our duty as an organisation to ensure that this provision is protected and embraced by all.
Family Disputes
Especially on matters touching on: Land, Succession, and Matrimonial Property. It is in the organisation’s interest that there is harmony within the family. We therefore take it upon ourselves to train the members of the community on the legal aspect when it comes to matters touching on: land, succession, and how best to handle matrimonial property. In this respect, we are mainly guided by: The Land Act, 2012, the Law of Succession Act (Cap. 160, Laws of Kenya), and The Matrimonial Property Act, 2013.
Labour Cases
Article 41 of the Constitution of Kenya and the Labour Relations Act represents the foundation of Industrial Relations in Kenya. Article 41 states that; every person has the right to fair labour practices and that every worker has the right to fair remuneration and reasonable working conditions. We therefore ensure that the people at the grassroots understand these provisions and are empowered on what to expect from the employer and what the employer expect from them. Through this, we indirectly ensure harmony within the working environment between the employer and the employee
Matters of Public Interest
These are matters or concerns that significantly affect a large number of people in society, thereby requiring collective action and policy-making for resolution. Such issues usually attract widespread attention, media coverage, and end up generating public debates. Whenever a society that we are involved with faces such matters, it is our duty to give a legal angle to the matter and litigate the matter where necessary.
