Dear Friends,

Around the world, grassroots community paralegals are squeezing justice out of broken systems: restoring running water to health facilities, obtaining birth certificates for children born into historically stateless communities, preventing land grabs, ending unlawful pollution. 
 
This is the work of Namati – putting the power of the law in the hands of the people. Will you make a contribution to our work, and help us begin 2016 with strength?

In the last four years, Namati paralegals have worked with over 40,000 clients to take on some of the greatest challenges of our times: protecting community lands, enforcing environmental law, and securing basic rights to healthcare and citizenship.
 
Drawing on learning from thousands of cases, we have successfully advocated for 80+ improvements to laws and systems that have affected millions of people, like better policies for land governance in Liberia and healthcare in Mozambique.
 
And we have brought together hundreds of groups from every region of the world to form the first global network dedicated to legal empowerment. 
 
Our community successfully advocated for incorporation of justice targets in the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals—something sympathetic officials told us was impossible two years ago.

We’ve proven our concept, and we’re now at an inflection point. Namati is poised to scale. We have the tools, resources and networks to build a powerful global movement for justice. And we need your help to make it happen.
 
The Open Society Foundation has generously agreed to match contributions 1:2 – they will invest an additional dollar for every two dollars we receive from others.
 
We invite you to contribute to Namati at this crucial juncture.  Thank you for considering this request.  Thank you for your commitment to a fairer, more just world.
 
With respect,

Vivek
