Building Power,
Deepening Democracy

We advance social and environmental justice by building a movement of people who know, use, and shape the law.

 

 

Namati video

 

More than half the world’s population lack meaningful access to justice. They are driven from their land, denied basic services, and intimidated by violence.

For 10 years, Namati, the Grassroots Justice Network and our partners have supported frontline community members, like those featured in this video, to achieve concrete remedies and systemic change by combining the power of law with the power of organizing.

The Injustices We Address

Members of the Grassroots Justice Network are tackling a wide range of justice challenges around the world. Namati works in close partnership with some of these members to take on three urgent issues in six countries.

Health
Justice

Many countries today have progressive healthcare policies. The failure is often at the point of delivery: patients are treated abusively, drugs are missing, or there is no privacy during medical visits. The health and lives of millions of people are at risk.


Where we work: Mozambique

Land & Environmental Justice

Mining, agribusiness, industrial development, and other private and public projects are damaging the environment and endangering the livelihoods of local communities across the globe.


Where we work: India, Kenya, Myanmar, Sierra Leone, USA

Citizenship
Justice

Over 1 billion people worldwide lack legal identity documentation. Without an ID, they cannot apply for a job, receive a bank loan, or access healthcare. They are excluded from society and trapped in a cycle of poverty.
