We conduct intensive research in the field of human rights and restorative justice.

We raise awareness about the purpose and benefits of Restorative Justice to our criminal justice system.

Access to justice for indigent pre-trial Detainess

We connect volunteer lawyers to indigent persons in custodial centres, who can not afford legal representation.

Juvenile Justice Reform

We campaign for institutional reforms in Juvenile Justice Administration in Nigeria and across Africa.

Women Behind Bars

We also ensure that custodial centers are true correctional facilities for women, by ensuring that they cater for the hygiene needs of women behind bars.

Restitution, Rehabilitation and Welfare Programs

Rehabilitation and reintegration 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 rehab.

Who We Are

We are committed to restoring peace and justice, by strengthening communities through Restorative Justice Practices in Nigeria and across Africa.

Restorative Justice for Africa (REJA) was first conceived as an initiative in November 2017. However, we commenced operations fully in 2019. We are a social profit organization that is promoting access to justice and equally providing an approach that puts energy into the future, not the past. Centainly, an approach that begins with who has been hurt and what their needs may be, hence, giving wrongdoers a way back instead of guaranteeing them a lifetime of hardship…
