Microjustice

The provided legal assistance include that people, who ask for help, are assisted by obtaining the right legal documentation, such as birth certificates, house- and land registration papers and other sorts of civil documentation. With these papers, people can get access to education, healthcare, microfinance, social benefits and it gives people the opportunity to protect their property.

The concept of Microjustice is deduced from the concept of microfinance(inclusive finance). An example of an organisation who provides microjustice services is Microjustice4all.
