Justice & Empowerment Initiatives
Andrew Maki's Company Details
Justice & Empowerment Initiatives (JEI) works alongside poor and marginalized communities in Nigeria to build broad-based solidarity, bottom-up accountability, and innovative justice solutions. JEI helps develop sustainable local mechanisms to proactively confront injustice, resolve collective problems, and build inter-community solidarity. This starts by rebuilding communities' hope that justice is possible and worth fighting and channeling hope into concrete action led by community paralegals supported by our litigation and advocacy unit and an arsenal of strategic alliances. Ultimately, these efforts develop into broader solidarity movement – a nation-wide network of paralegals serving the poor – sustained by a combination of community contributions and JEI's innovative peer-to-peer fundraising platform.
