“During my internship in Kenya with Eddah & Karanja Company Advocates (EKC), I met amazing people, made wonderful friends, and learned so much about Kenyan culture and law. I consulted for corporate clients on issues including international refugee law, education, and administrative structuring and policies. One of my clients was a school that serves girls who otherwise have no chance at secondary education; the articles of association and corporate policies I drafted will enable the school to grow and reach more brilliant young women, who will show the next generation that anything is possible. Consulting for these clients is the quiet but critical supportive work that enables organizations to maximize their impact and change the world.”

“As a student at the Human Trafficking Clinic, I have had the opportunity to help survivors express their voices and begin the process to get their criminal records vacated or expunged. Many times, these survivors cannot find jobs or get good housing because of negative background checks. Thus, even though they are free from trafficking, survivors still find it difficult to truly move forward with life. Through my work at the Clinic and talking with clients, I began to realize just how important it is to not just help survivors find justice through prosecutions against their perpetrators but also help them with everything that happens after they are free.”

“Throughout the summer, I was entrusted with meaningful work during my internship with the National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE). I conducted research for cases involving federal litigation on behalf of women trafficked through Nevada brothels, navigated complex questions of international law under the Hague Convention, and drafted motions and portions of briefs in cases against alleged sex traffickers. This internship gave me skills I will use throughout law school and beyond, a newfound confidence in both my writing and research abilities, but above all else it gave me a renewed sense of purpose in this work. I am thankful for the mentors who guided me, for the colleagues who welcomed and supported me, and for donor who gave me the chance to be part of an organization doing such meaningful work.”

“Our team has researched the current regulations in place that hinder church creation and religious freedom throughout Africa, and what other organizations have said about religious freedoms globally. Our research is geared to identify the current regulations and provide legal and policy recommendations to support religious freedoms. Beyond research, this partnership embodies Regent University’s mission to serve justice globally through faith and law. By supporting Advocates Africa, who are courageously addressing these complex issues, our research is assisting in amplifying the call for reform for communities across Africa. As this work continues, our goal is not only to protect the freedom of churches to gather and worship but also to strengthen the rule of law and uphold human dignity across the region.”
