Approximately twenty volunteering interns from all over the world, many of them law students help to assist and open cases for clients in the office, as well as engage in social work projects and providing education about human rights issues to the community. The office works constantly to promote the rights of vulnerable people such as children, women, refugees, and prisoners and gives volunteers the opportunity to work on an extremely worthwhile project alongside respected humanitarian organisations, whilst also gaining first hand experience of human rights law in practice.

Challenges Worldwide (CWW) is an international development charity and award winning social enterprise. We recruit volunteers with professional skills and experience and train them to work with our local partners in developing countries. We deliberately keep our numbers small to maintain the high quality which comes from working closely with our volunteers. Doing so enables us to build bespoke placements that match the specific skills and priorities of the volunteer with the requirements of the partner organisation. Since 1999 CWW have worked closely with more than 100 organisations in just under 30 countries. We currently work in Central America, South Asia, Eastern Europe, West Africa and Southern Africa. Call us on 0845 2000 342 [+44 (0)131 225 9549] or email info@challengesworldwide.com for information on how you can get involved today. Visit our website at: www.challengesworldwide.com

The Namibia Paralegal Association was set up as an association of community based paralegals in 2002. These paralegals had recently concluded their training as part of a project aimed at providing access to justice to disadvantaged people living in rural areas of Namibia. As well as funding, we are always looking for volunteers to come over and lend a hand. From fundraisers to volunteers who could help in the organizational development of the NPA, any support is greatly appreciated. |
