The dream of freedom for all

South Africa is still suffering from the inequities of the apartheid regime and in order to bring about a transition into  full democracy and the dream of freedom,  transformation of society and the economy are essential. It is through the Constitution, the greatest instrument in the hands of the South African people, that this will be achieved.  The Constitution  is there not only to protect,  to guide and to govern but also to demand that steps be taken to bring
about change.

The Legal Assistance Trust was founded in order to support the Legal Resources Centre in their endeavours to bring about  social and economic  transformation for those most in need -  the poor and marginalised.

The Legal Resources Centre  has long been at the forefront
of change in South Africa and has used the law to pursue justice and freedom.  Many gains have been made but the dream has yet to be fulfilled and the work continues. The Constitution, which provides the necessary means  to
achieve these goals must itself  be protected, its impact extended and its requirements fulfilled. The prize will be democracy, and the freedom from poverty
