Our Programs
Comprehensive programs to promote and protect the rights of vulnerable workers
Our Programs
Protecting workers' rights through advocacy, legal aid, and community empowerment
Child Labour and Social Protection
Since inception in 2000, PLA has been at the forefront of eliminating child exploitation in Uganda — from domestic servitude and commercial agriculture to trafficking and children affected by conflict.
Change Maker, Advocacy and Social Justice
PLA nurtures communities where agents of change naturally emerge, supporting 30+ community-based organisations to defend labour rights and champion social justice.
Legal Aid
PLA provides free comprehensive legal aid to vulnerable and marginalised workers who cannot afford legal representation — across 16 districts with physical clinics in Kampala, Iganga, and Lira.
Safe Labour Migration
Every year, thousands of Ugandans migrate in search of work, many facing exploitation and trafficking. PLA ensures migration becomes a pathway to opportunity — not vulnerability.
Skilling and Vocational Training
Our Skilling and Vocational Training program equips children, adolescents, and young adults with marketable skills while ensuring their protection from exploitation, including child labour.
Research, Knowledge Management and Learning
Since inception, PLA's work has been grounded in rigorous research, knowledge management, and continuous learning — generating evidence-based insights that inform advocacy and programme design.
