UNDIKUMBUKIRE PROJECT ZAMBIA’S MISSION IS TO SUPPORT JUVENILES IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW IN ZAMBIA THROUGH LEGAL REPRESENTATION, SOCIAL SUPPORT, AND ADVOCACY FOR A RESTORATIVE JUSTICE SYSTEM. TO ACHIEVE THIS, OUR WORK CENTERS ON FOUR AREAS: CASEWORK We believe that lawyers make the difference. UP organizes volunteer lawyers to represent juveniles in bail proceedings, at trial and confirmation to defend their rights, ensure that legal procedures are followed, and start the juvenile on a path to a restored future. ADVOCACY Our casework provides us with insight into the systemic roadblocks that prevent juveniles from receiving justice. These insights allow us to identify ways in which the system can be changed, working within the resource limitations faced by the Zambian courts, prison system and other stakeholders. We use the insights and data obtained through our casework to advocate for practical legal and policy reforms. PARTNERSHIP UP works with the Zambia Correctional Service, the Judiciary, the Legal Aid Board, and other public and private stakeholders, all of whom share the same goal: a justice system that better protects vulnerable juveniles. HOPE Incarcerated juveniles need more than a lawyer, they need hope for the future. UP seeks to provide juveniles with visitation, engagement, and meet their physical needs while they are in prison. In addition to social support during incarceration, UP recognizes the need for ongoing engagement with the juveniles upon release. Our desire is to develop partnerships with various organisations to offer rehabilitative counseling, mentorship, skills training, activities, and sponsorship.

About UP Zambia

UP Zambia is a Zambian human rights organization dedicated to supporting juveniles in conflict with the law. We provide legal representation, social support, and advocacy to ensure a restorative juvenile justice system in Zambia. Unfortunately, most juveniles in Zambia cannot afford legal aid, leading to one-sided trials and weak convictions.

In addition, conditions in Zambian prisons are particularly challenging for vulnerable juveniles. Our mission is to address these issues and assist juveniles in navigating the legal system. With our passionate and professional team, we are committed to making a positive impact by providing much-needed legal resources, social support, and advocating for fair and just treatment.

We also collaborate with various stakeholders, including government bodies and nonprofit organizations, to bring about lasting change. Join us in our mission to create a brighter future for juveniles in Zambia
