The Network of Lawyers of Hope in Rwanda is an association of Christian lawyers which was founded in 2006. The organisation seeks to reach out to the most vulnerable members of the society, in particular vulnerable children, prisoners and other needy people; to seek justice on their behalf; and to share with them Christ’s love and compassion.
In 2009, Lawyers of Hope Rwanda participated in Rwanda’s first legal aid week. Their lawyers delivered legal advice and assistance to over 400 prisoners and subsequently developed a funding proposal to work in 2 local prisons. Their proposal was approved.
Rwanda is now at peace, reconciliation continues and we thank God for all He is doing. Christians enjoy freedom of worship and expression. Current AA national leader is Safari Gahizi.
