Kalebi Bweema
@kalebibweema
I support marginalized communities through legal aid, case investigation, advocacy, mediation, and rights-focused outreach.
ZambiaWhat I'm looking for
I've supported clients through the Legal Resources Foundation, Legal Resources Chambers, and Legal Aid Board since 2019, providing free legal advice, screening cases, conducting research, and preparing legal documents under supervision.
I investigate cases, record client statements, follow up on matters, and mediate and negotiate on behalf of clients before matters are referred to the Principal Advocate.
My work has also included children’s rights advocacy, child protection workshops, support for widows and orphans, community outreach, and translating children’s voices from Icibemba to English. I'm committed to ensuring marginalized communities are heard and their rights are protected.
