📰 The challenge
Justice services are often physically and financially out of reach. Young people, women, and rural communities face disputes without guidance.
- Very few lawyers per capita outside the capital
- Long case backlogs
- Land and administrative disputes with no first-line support
✅ Our approach
Train young paralegals for first-line orientation and mediation, backed by physical aid centres and a simple rights app in Malagasy.
- Pillar 1 — Paralegal training: 500 youth, 3-month curriculum (rights, admin procedures, land mediation)
- Pillar 2 — Aid centres: 20 district hubs with a staff lawyer + local paralegals, free intake
- Pillar 3 — Digital tools: “Zo Malgache” app, SMS triage line, local case-law notes
