What We Do
CELSIR is committed to fostering change in the lives of justice-impacted people. From education, counselling and support, legal advice as well as policy advocacy, we work across six key areas.
Our Thematic Areas
Our priority is to protect the rights and respect of people who have been in Prison
It is our mission also to curb the alarming cycle of recidivism prevalent among incarcerated individuals, as result of the formidable challenges they encounter when reintegrating into society. Our Work covers the areas:
Access to Justice
With more than 50,000 incarcerated persons awaiting trial across the country, the continuous need for legal assistance cannot be overemphasized
Education for Correctional Facilities
In the pursuit of rehabilitation, education emerges as a transformative force for justice-impacted individuals.
Empower to Rebuild (E2R)
Our E2R project equips justice-impacted individuals with high-demand market skills, enabling them to create, earn, and save even while incarcerated
Psycho-Social Support
We provide comprehensive psychosocial support to justice-impacted persons with programs designed to address the unique needs of justice-impacted individuals
Reentry Support
CELSIR provides practical support for justice-impacted individuals to return to society
Research & Advocacy
We believe that effective reform hinges on addressing systemic inequities that lead to mass incarceration and marginalization.
