Legal services are out of reach for those that need them most. Many issues in East Africa are related to land ownership, inheritance, and family disputes; too often they are handled through mob justice, or no justice at all. Barefoot Law protects the rights of Ugandans by providing free legal services to resolve disputes — increasingly through efficient virtual means. Every month they help 650,000+ people to understand their rights and resolve 1,000+ legal matters too.
