Kenya
Legal
Resource Foundation of Kenya
The lead Kenyan organization
under this program
is The Legal Resources Foundation,
which
is working on the development
and implementation
of a legal education program
in Kenya's secondary
schools entitled, "Toward
Consolidation
of the Foundations Schools Outreach."
The Legal Resources Foundation's
mission
is to develop legal and human
rights education
resources, which are participatory
in nature
and which effect greater awareness
of human
rights among Kenyans.
Goals of the Legal Resources Foundation PLE
project are:
- Strengthen established Law Clubs in secondary
schools and promote the establishment of
new clubs by developing a simplified guide
on the context, rationale, objectives and
possible structures of Law Clubs. Law clubs
bring together students who are interested
in increasing their knowledge of the law.
- Facilitate networking and sharing of information
about law clubs by developing
and publishing
a newsletter.
- Test and strengthen LRF's capacity for developing
relevant in-house publications.
In support
of these goals the Legal Resources Foundation undertook the following
activities:
Developed a "Law Club Booklet": The booklet, entitled
Introducing Law Related Education in Secondary Schools is a guide
on forming and managing Law Clubs. Information presented in the
booklet will sensitize teaches and students to the concept of and
need for law related education. The booklet is being distributed
to law clubs in high schools.
Law Club Newsletter: A newsletter called The Young Voice,
has been developed for distribution to law clubs each school term.
The newsletter provides a forum where young people can debate and
articulate their concerns on law related issues and provides a means
for educating high school students on issues of "rights."
