Building a fairer world together.
Namati advances a fairer, more sustainable world by building a movement of people who know, use, and shape the law. We work deeply in seven countries—from Myanmar to the United States—and we convene the world’s largest network of justice defenders, with members in 185 countries.
In the face of grave threats to democracy and our planet, we are getting creative and going big. Recent wins include the abolition of a decades-old discriminatory ID system in Kenya and a re-write of the global rules governing carbon projects. This year we’re launching the Grassroots Justice Network Academy, with a goal of strengthening movements in 100 countries.
Our work has been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Forbes, Democracy Journal, Amanpour & Co., The New York Times, The Guardian, Devex, WIRED, The Washington Post, among others, and has been documented by the Sundance Institute. A TED Talk by our CEO Vivek has been viewed over 1.3 million times.
Namati has received the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship, the Global Pluralism Award, the $20 million Racial Equity 2030 prize, and the World Economic Forum’s Social Entrepreneur of the Year award, among other honors.
As we move into our next phase, we’re growing our global team of passionate, results-oriented, big-hearted advocates, united by a common mission and a strong culture:
- Bold moral vision. We work towards a radically different world, in which everyone can flourish, power is shared, and we wisely steward our planet.
- Grounded pragmatism. In the face of grave obstacles, we get creative. We help people find solutions that improve their lives every day.
- Relentlessness. We never give up.
- Reciprocal globalism (vs. imperial globalism, or missionary globalism). We have faith in our common humanity. We believe in learning and solidarity across borders, in all directions.
- We walk our talk. Our movement is about legal empowerment and we bring this spirit of empowerment and collaboration to all our partnerships. We hold humility as a core value: we lead when necessary and follow when necessary.
- We see our people as our most valuable resource. We bring on individuals of the highest caliber and character and we mentor, train, and support our staff.
