A legacy of standing beside others.
في ثواب عبد الرحيم — a pro bono legal support initiative inspired by a lifetime of helping people in need.
Compassion that continues.
Samra’s father, Abdulrahim, believed in showing up for people who needed help. He would visit police stations, seek out people who could not afford representation, and look for a way to stand beside them.
This initiative carries that spirit forward in his memory. It creates a way for members of the public facing financial or personal hardship to ask for free legal assistance.
Applications are considered individually by a reviewing committee. The aim is to understand the person, the circumstances, and whether the initiative can provide appropriate support.
