Dear Friend
Uganda Christian Lawyers Fraternity is an association of Christian legal professionals which was started in 1987 as a fellowship of Christian law students but has since grown to about 400 members who are working in all facets of the Justice, Law and Order Sector.
The Vision of UCLF is a world where justice and human dignity is a reality for all.
The Mission of UCLF is to share our faith in Christ Jesus, promote access to justice and the respect for human dignity, through speaking up, fellowship, mentorship and defending the rights of the vulnerable.

Since 2005, UCLF has supported indigent persons to access legal
aid services in the districts of Kampala, Gulu, Wakiso, Mukono, Masaka, Kasese,
Moyo, Kayunga and Buikwe districts of Uganda. This is normally done through the support of donors like the DGF, BMS World Mission, amongst others. The main areas of emphasis by UCLF are criminal public defence, students programs, civil legal aid, the paralegal services, legal education, and research and advocacy work.
In pursuit of the above, the Fraternity is organizing a dinner to fundraise for a UCLF Pro-bono Fund. The funds realised will enable the secretariat arm of the Fraternity to serve more of the indigent population of Uganda who are in need of pro-bono legal assistance, (either because they are in conflict with the law or are unable to defend themselves in civil suits).
The UCLF experience so far shows that each case in the courts takes approximately UGX 1,000,000/= to resolve. It is hoped that the Fratenrity will therefore raise Uganda Shillings 100,000,000/= which will enable it assist at least 200 citizens.
