Dignity Kwanza

Dignity Kwanza works towards safeguarding and promoting human dignity of marginalised and vulnerable populations, including refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants, towards attaining social and economic development. We do that through legal aid provision; community empowerment and support; and policy advocacy, capacity-building, and awareness raising.

DIGNITY Kwanza believes in the strong link between human dignity and economic growth of an individual and the whole society. As such we seek to give marginalised individuals and their communities the tools they need to leave with dignity and achieve personal growth and contribute to the general development of the nation. At the national level, DIGNITY Kwanza advocates for policies that give the marginalised and vulnerable a chance to live with dignity. For effective advocacy, DIGNITY Kwanza engages in research and studies to collect information to support her advocacy work.
