Community Building

About LegalWise

Community

Contributing to the social and economic development of South Africa.

LegalWise strives to actively contribute to the social and economic development of South Africa through the provision of access to justice for all. Working alongside our Members, partner organisations, and dedicated staff, we invest in long-term Corporate Social Investment (CSI) initiatives that have a meaningful impact on the communities we serve.

Approach

We place communities at the centre of their own development so they become the primary producers of their own wellbeing and can access their full rights. Our approach is asset-based: focusing on the strengths and capabilities communities already have, rather than what they lack.

Our philosophy is:

"Use what you have and build on what you know."
"Focus on what is strong in communities, not on what is wrong."
