iProbono is a global group of organisations enabling people to access their rights in pursuit of a just society.
“The success of non-profit organisations depends in large measure on handholding by like-minded associations. Mijwan Welfare Society has benefited greatly from the support given by iProbono over the years.”
Shabana Azmi
President, Mijwan Welfare Society
“As a photojournalist, I have often worked on stories covering vulnerable communities and people at risk. iProbono puts a lot of heart into uplifting people in need of support, helping them explore their full potential. The organisation goes beyond providing support, keeping in touch with the communities they work with. I’ve had the privilege of photographing the evacuated Afghan cycling team, who have witnessed a remarkable transformation as they settle into their new lives in Italy.”

“The ability to bring international connectivity alongside localised legal expertise is key to iProbono’s effectiveness. The successful resettlement of Afghan refugees, who were fleeing the Taliban, from Pakistan to Europe is a recent example of the edge iProbono brings to the table. I look forward to seeing the organisation expand its footprint across South Asia and beyond.”

“I am really impressed with the team of young, energetic fellows working on economic, social, and cultural rights (ESCR) issues in Nepal. They are making a change by identifying normative and implementation challenges through Right to Information petitions, doing strategic advocacy with the concerned authorities, and filing public interest petitions. I am confident their activism will result in tangible changes by holding authorities accountable for the implementation of ESCR in Nepal.”
Raju Prasad Chapagai
ESCR Fellowship Advisor, Nepal
“I recommend iProbono unreservedly to other non-profits. There are many legal issues that schools face, from land planning to registration. I can’t speak highly enough of the professionalism and helpfulness of the iProbono team in shepherding the process. We hope to connect many of our schools with iProbono in the coming years.”

“Doing pro bono work helps us step back for a minute, to stop and think about issues outside our own little busy worlds.”
