Our Mission
Creating peaceful, healthier and accountable communities by Restoring Justice to victims as well as to offenders.
Who We Are
We are committed to restoring peace and justice, by strengthening communities through Restorative Justice practices in Nigeria and across Africa.
Our solution focuses on free legal representation for low income earners detained in correctional facilities without trial, especially women and children in trouble with the law.
We also reach out to communities that have been affected by crime and engage in dialogue with the community leaders and victims of crimes as well as provide rehabilitation and reintegration programs for offenders.
Finally, we train law enforcement officers on the principles of human rights and international best practices.
What We Do
At Restorative Justice for Africa, we move the world into Restoring Peace and Justice in Nigeria and across Africa.
Access to Justice for Underserved Pre-trial Detainees
We connect volunteer lawyers to indigent persons in Correctional facilities who cannot afford legal representation.
Advocacy for Restorative Justice in Nigeria
We raise awareness about the impact Restorative Justice can make for the Justice delivery system in Nigeria...
Leadership and Capacity Building Training
We conduct routine trainings for stakeholders in the Criminal Justice System which include Police Officers, Legal Practitioners...
Juvenile Justice Reform
We campaign for institutional reforms in Juvenile Justice Administration in Nigeria
Women Behind Bars
We also ensure that custodial centres are true correctional facilities for women by ensuring that they cater to the hygiene needs of women behind bars.
Restitution, Rehabilitation and Welfare Programs
We design programs and welfare interventions to meet the needs of inmates and also help those who are released to plan for their life after prison.
"We are a voice for Restorative Justice in Nigeria and all of Africa. We are re-inventing corrections and proposing reformative solutions that are born out of hope and possibility to the challenges in our Criminal Justice System."
