Global Development Agenda

Libra-Life International

A catalyst advancing criminal justice in the global development agenda and its intersections.

Libra-Life International's Global Reach

Bringing Together Criminal Justice Reform

Libra-Life International is making a footprint in East Africa, Western Europe, and North America that advances criminal justice reform and its intersections including ending poverty, reducing inequalities, creating decent work, and more.

We leverage our unique convening power to enhance strategic multi sectoral partnerships towards evidence-driven interventions.

Our vision is a world where justice-involved individuals are empowered to rebuild their lives free from stigma and structural barriers, where communities flourish through inclusive opportunities, and where justice systems around the globe promote dignity, equity, and lasting social change.

We aim to disrupt the justice system by breaking down barriers that perpetuate stigma and discrimination of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people.



Our Value Addition

Catalyst and Convener

We serve as a credible leader in criminal justice reform, focusing on the systemic injustices that affect marginalized and justice-impacted individuals; centering a rights-based and intersectional approach towards comprehensive reforms.

We build bridges and galvanize diverse actors around high-impact collective action to mainstream and advance SDG 16 on peace, justice, and strong institutions.

We are committed to meaningfully engaging at grassroot levels to ensure an inclusive approach to justice reform, focusing on the most vulnerable and marginalized populations. We believe that those closest to the problem must be central in finding solutions.
