Posted March 25, 2024
Background & Context
SSAAP wants to add Animal Rights and Tree Protection [Rights] to its initiative, rather than just having a Human Rights initiative.
Immediate Problem
Service to all living creatures - including animals and Nature (specifically trees) - rather than just human beings.
Work & Deliverables
SSAAP, our project, needs a lawyer to assist in updating the Bi-Laws, Constitution, and/or Articles of Incorporation, should our filings with the Colorado Secretary of State and/or the IRS need us to, to update SSAAP's Vision and Mission Statements to include animal rights and Earth rights (i.e. trees and rivers/water) in our project initiative, not just human rights. As well, we want to include Nonviolence to our mission statement.

Simwatachela Sustainable Agricultural and Arts Program [SSAAP]
We are a grassroots organisation working to help rural Africa (Zambia and Sierra Leone) with clean drinking water via water wells. We also work with food sustainability and nutrition through simple irrigation systems (Water Reticulation Systems) so that people can grow food year-round. We are a small organisation, committed to serving the needs of the local people through basic human needs: water and food! SSAAP is also working in partnership with George Washington University Law School, with their Pro Bono Program (https://www.law.gwu.edu/pro-bono-program). Any attorney who wishes to work with SSAAP on any of its projects may also work with a GW Law student who would do much of the legwork, research, and work for the project, though supervised by a bar-certified attorney.
