“I call upon all of us, young and old, to work for the thousands of people who are going through abuses and have no one to fight for them.” 
– David

Police officers are supposed to bring justice and protect the poor from violence. But in many places, the opposite happens. In Kenya, corrupt police officers throw innocent men and women in prison, framing them for crimes they never committed.

This was David Makara’s story before supporters like you provided him with the lawyer he needed to defend him.

Victims often don’t know their legal rights and have no one to defend them. Because your support meant David had someone to defend him, now he’s on a mission to defend others like him.

Today, David is running his own law practice, fighting for the rights of people living in poor and marginalized communities. And, today, he is boldly speaking out as a leader in our Global Survivor Network.

“I call upon all of us, young and old, to work for the thousands of people who are going through abuses and have no one to fight for them.”
