Justice for Children (JCT) is a non-profit making organization,
which was founded in 2002 by a group of registered lawyers
to provide free legal services to minors in civil and criminal
cases. The organization is registered as a Trust and this
was done in December 2002. In assisting the minors JCT works
with their natural or legal guardians. Among the factors that
motivated the group are the escalating legal fees which cannot
be afforded by many, the rising levels of poverty, the HIV
and AIDS pandemic which is accompanied by problems of orphan
hood, child headed households and the denial of children's
rights, increasing cases of child sexual abuse and the absence
of an organization which provides free legal services targeting
at benefiting minors.
