Hope Behind Bars Africa is a brand that has been dedicated to providing quality legal representation to indigent pre-trial detainees since 2018. Their mission extends beyond just legal support, as they also focus on supporting released inmates to help them have a great start in life after incarceration. Despite limited resources, the organization has successfully coordinated numerous projects through their active volunteer base and collaborations with local and international partners.

Their impact speaks for itself, with over 7,000 pre-trial detainees benefiting from their interventions in the past 5 years. The organization's journey began in 1998 when their founder witnessed the injustices perpetrated by the justice system on low-income individuals. Through research projects and handling criminal cases, their founder mobilized a movement of active lawyers and citizens who are committed to closing the justice gap.

Hope Behind Bars Africa adopts a multi-pronged approach to address justice inequalities, incorporating right-holders, duty-bearers, and other stakeholders in their programs and campaigns. Their core values revolve around human rights, openness, integrity, and empowerment. With a dedicated team and strategic partnerships, the brand strives to be a leading catalyst for correctional reforms in Africa, ultimately creating a criminal justice system based on human rights and dignity
