Participants at an outreach in Budiriro Participants at an outreach meeting at Rusape Barracks Testimonials “On 4 July 2014, when I accompanied a relative to the city clinic, I had the good fortune to meet with a representative from Legal Resources Foundation addressing a gathering about children’s rights. Being a father, I benefited a lot from this session as I was also able to learn about my own rights and how to protect them. After the presentation, I visited the Legal Resources Foundation offices where I was able to replace my child rights pamphlet which I had already donated to my daughter. I was also able to seek legal advice about an issue which had been troubling me for some while. Now thanks to the organisation I now know my rights and am able to assert them’’ Councillor in Mutoko: “The LRF has helped to stop property grabbing and reduced the number of domestic violencecases we record.” Zimbabwe National Army following the outreaches conducted at various brigades in Manicaland province. “The headquarters write to thank you for accepting our request and to express profound gratitude for the valuable support you gave to officers, men and women of infantry brigade.
