In re-imagining Legal Aid for the indigent by extending access to free legal representation to low-income entrepreneurs, small medium micro enterprises “SMME’s” and other small community-based social enterprises, we acknowledge the fact that this imperative sector of economy was already in distress before Covid-19. The advent of Covid-19 introduced new challenges, the most devastating being further collapse of the economy and the interface restrictions.
In response, LUTEJ establishes an online portal with comprehensive online resources for low-income entrepreneurs to benefit from interdisciplinary market collaboration with a range of professional experts to reinforce services offered to the small business segment.
