Who we are
Ikoku is working to transform Uganda’s juvenile system. We provide legal aid and psychosocial support to children in conflict with the law.
We train stakeholders working within the juvenile justice system and advocate for reform to ensure no child is forgotten.
We believe every child deserves a second chance to thrive!
Our philosophy is rooted in the principles of child-centered justice. Where protection, empathy & fairness guide our actions. We strive to create a legal system where justice is defined by restoration not punishment.
OUR VALUESa look at the
Programs that change lives
A child's first encounter with
Justice should never feel like the end of their story.
Yet too often, it does.
We intervene at that critical point before fear becomes conviction, before mistakes become labels by ensuring children are heard, guided, and given a real chance to recover and rebuild.
