Key this year was the partnership entered into with Nyaradzo Funeral Group. The first phase of the project saw Nyaradzo contracting the LRF to conduct a baseline survey to assess the uptake of wills and will writing among Zimbabweans. The results will be used to establish the potential for bulk printing of the LRF’s pamphlets, specifically on inheritance rights and the writing of a will. LEGAL SERVICES PROGRAMME (1) Legal aid is not readily available in Zimbabwe and the LRF’s legal services offer relief to the indigent, regardless of gender, political orientation or cultural beliefs, enabling clients to access justice that otherwise would be beyond their reach. Statements from state officials garnered during monitoring and evaluation visits to Nyanga illustrate the impact of the LRF’s work. An Assistant Inspector for the Victim Friendly Unit in Nyanga underlined the importance of the LRF: “Usually when LRF closes in December we face challenges of where to refer people, we also face challenges when paralegals are working three days a week because that creates a very huge gap.” The Assistant District Administrator highlighted the significance of the LRF’s work in the community when he said: “Our people are very poor and not everyone is capable of paying lawyers, so the LRF is closing that gap.” 22
