WHY CHOOSE US
In 1998 PRAWA introduced the first Alternative to Violence Program in West Africa with the support of the British Council.
Under the project a first batch of 66 Volunteers were trained in partnership with AVP UK.
It also introduced the Family Link Project (1998/99), Prison Link Project(Correctional Centers Link Project) (1999/2000) and several training programmes across Nigeria on International Human Rights Standards, Good Correctional Centers Practice and Prevention of Torture for criminal justice agents (including Correctional Centers, police and judicial officers) and other related stakeholders over the years. To date, Prawa has trained over 10,000 persons on this. Several institutions have supported these trainings such as the British High Commission, Switzerland Embassy (Ghana), European Union through Penal Reform International, Switzerland Embassy (Nigeria), and OAK Fund/IRCT.
