ProBono.Org is a non-profit company duly incorporated under the laws of the Republic of South Africa. ProBono.Org started in 2006 as a clearinghouse and is still the only one in South Africa to engage lawyers to take on the cases of people who could not afford to pay for their services. Its purpose is to make real the right of access to justice as enshrined in Section 34 of the Bill of Rights. ProBono.Org focuses on civil law matters, i.e. not criminal matters, and it runs a number of legal clinics at its offices as well as help desks at courts and other sites such as the Master’s Offices and the Deeds Offices. ProBono.Org has three offices, in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town and through the support of the Community Based Organisations (CBOs/ CAOs), it is able to assist up to 6,000 people a year with a small staff of 30. Many people also walk to its offices for legal assistance. Its furthest community advice Office is located in Musina Limpopo. ProBono.Org and its pro bono attorneys network has grown over the years and through them it is able to provide legal assistance worth many millions of Rand per year to indigent and marginalised clients. Its legal clinics and help desks provide assistance in the areas of labour law, family law, child law, housing, deceased estates, police brutality and refugee law. Probono.Org also provide legal empowerment workshops for communities on aspects of the law that affect their lives, and also train legal professionals and candidate attorneys as well as unemployed law graduates on areas of the law that they may not be familiar with or in areas that are difficult, e.g. refugee law, so that they are equipped to help the clients that request its services. Probono.Org is entirely dependent on donors to fund its operations.
