Ikoku Protection and Justice
Ikoku Protection and Justice empowers and supports juvenile offenders in Uganda through legal aid, psychosocial support, advocacy and engaging stakeholders through capacity building trainings to create a child-friendly justice system.
In 2023, 10,741 child-related offenses were reported to the police, with 70% of cases still pending in court. Unfortunately the trend continued in 2024 with 9,408 child-related offenses being reported to police, 57% of these cases are still pending and this excludes the 4,363 cases that are still under inquiry till to date. Uganda’s remand homes, which are designed to hold 40-45 juveniles, currently house over 100 inmates (excluding street children) with as few as 14 staff members managing them. These figures highlight a significant gap in the juvenile justice system, where children are often left without legal representation, face long delays in their cases, and are wrongfully classified as adults due to lack of proper age documentation.
We tackle the gaps in Uganda’s juvenile justice system through early legal education, legal representation, psychosocial support, advocacy, and stakeholder training. We teach children their rights using interactive games, provide free legal aid for capital and non-capital offenses, offer psychosocial workshops to address trauma and prevent reoffending, and share real stories through podcasts and documentaries to push for policy change.
Our residential capacity-building program trains key stakeholders to create a more child-friendly justice system. Through these interventions, we aim to reduce wrongful detentions, ease overcrowding in remand homes, promote faster trials, and give children in conflict with the law a real chance at a fresh start.
Welcome to the Ikoku family. We’re truly grateful to have you with us. By choosing to stand with children in conflict with the law, you’re not just offering your time and skills, you’re helping give them the second chance they deserve. Every effort you put in brings us closer to building something lasting, something that matters. We’re so excited to create this with you!

Equity & Inclusion
We are dedicated to removing barriers so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and abilities can access and participate fully in experiences of farming, countryside living, and sustainability. We celebrate diversity and work to create welcoming spaces where everyone can thrive.

We are seeking a talented Video Editor who can create engaging videos for our new upcoming website and fundraising campaigns.
We appreciate volunteers with experience in editing videos for fundraising purposes, but we are open to those who do not necessarily have the experience but wish to learn.
As a volunteer-led charity, it’s essential for us to find someone who understands the importance of being part of our team and engaging in the entire creative process. Therefore, we will prioritise applications from volunteers who wish to commit to a long-term partnership and want to be an integral member of our team.
What do you need to become our Video Editor?
Essential:
· 3+ years professional experience with Video Editing and ability to create engaging and professional videos.
· Creativity and experience in developing effective videos for marketing.
· Experience in developing effective videos for fundraising purposes.
· Experience in developing effective videos for promoting projects and charitable causes.
Desirable
· Have worked with videos for fundraising campaigns in the past.
By getting involved you will gain:
· A chance to expand your skills and unleash your creativity.
· This is an excellent opportunity for professionals eager to utilise their talents to address community needs and contribute to reducing inequality.
· Additionally, you can enhance your portfolio and potentially work on your own projects in collaboration with the charity.
· Experiment with new techniques and receive constructive feedback on your work.
Location: Fully Remote. But we welcome those who wish to come and visit the farm at least once to understand more about us. Travel expenses covered.
Commitment:
The estimate of time needed is 3 hours a week, but we can be flexible and work with you to find hours that fit ours and your schedule, hours will eventually reduce once most of the branding work is done and the new website is launched - all help is much appreciated!
As a volunteer-led charity, we prioritise volunteers who want to become part of our team of volunteers rather than those looking for a temporary project.

Please send your CV, cover letter and link to your portfolio demonstrating your experience with video editing and why you would like to get involved with our projects.
Interviews will be scheduled as the applications come in. Candidates must have the legal right to work in the UK at the time of application.
