Lawyers for Human Rights and Legal Aid (LHRLA)

 

 

Madadgaar Objectives:

  • To Provide guidance and referral services to victims of abuse, violence and expolitation.

  • To raise awarness for issues related to protection of children and women.

  • To Support capacity building of other institutions to replicate MADADGAAR services in other parts of the country.

  • To Support for advocacy efforts among decision makers.

  • Center for Missing Children, a project of LHRLA.
  • It is a known fact that the survival of any organization is duly dependant on the resources available.
  • Non profit organizations find themselves having to resort to fundraising activities to generate such means. To plainly state, the fundraising function of an NGO is similar to that of a marketing department in the corporate sector.
  • Build the capacity of its partners and government agencies with printed and audio visual material, conferences, seminars and workshops.

long-term strategies.
