BarefootLaw brings access to justice and the law to over a million people in Uganda and elsewhere, with the goal to help millions of people across Africa understand and protect their rights by 2030, the organization tells us. It does this by providing free, digital legal information and guidance through the use of technology-enabled legal support.
With support from the Segal Family Foundation, the Dovetail Impact Foundation, and the African Visionary Fund, among others, this nonprofit has rolled out several innovations including:
• BarefootLaw Boxes: These shipping containers are converted into AI- and solar-powered law centers, which are transported to rural areas to ensure people in remote settings can access justice.
