BETTER LEGAL SERVICES LAW FIRM is the full-service law firm founded by Me Enos NSENGIYUMVA to provide general practice of legal services and stand up for the rights of its clients.

But due to the problem of poverty, some of our clients are not able to get the money to pay for the lawyers which makes them unable to get justice. It is in this context that we set up a Pro bono unit to help the vulnerable in need of justice services. The objective is to provide legal aid services to eligible vulnerable people throughout Rwanda, for little or no cost.

We plan the implementation of pro bono activities by undertaking a Justice for Vulnerable  Program (JFVP) that will focus on delivering legal aid services to eligible vulnerable and Community Law Education Program (CLEP) that will focus on community education about laws that affect them.

The mission of the Pro bono unit is to promote equal access to justice in providing legal aid services to vulnerable and low-income people.
