Justice within reach
The justice system bears the full burden of catering to the needs to every last individual in the country. It aims to make legal system fair, equitable and offer speedy justice to all. We assist the system by enabling easy access to justice; one that’s data driven, innovative and that builds the human capital and capacity for equity.

We believe that a well functioning democracy resides on an active citizenry.
The judiciary, by design, is independent, and any intervention must respect this. It is paramount that justice remain independent, and be seen so. The justice system and the judiciary is a large complex system made up of institutions, individuals, networks and services meant to assist our vast population. Any design to support it must be holistic, and must recognise the human as well as the systemic challenges within it.
We believe that by promoting the use of data as a public good, and by building narratives that are data and information driven, we can support this system. We believe philanthropy can enable more human capital to enter into the system and bring with them new and innovative methods of addressing some of its endemic issues. It is not about rebuilding the system anew; the focus of philanthropy should instead be targeted at easing choke points within the system.
NP recognises that the effectiveness of any access to justice program resides on three pillars: the effective collection of data, an informed and better narrative around the justice system and a network that adds to the systemic capacity of the justice system and the protection of rights.
