LRF has been engaged as consultant to work with General Agriculture Plantation Workers Union of Zimbabwe (GAPWUZ) on the Citizenship Project. The specific activities of the project are to conduct five civic education workshops for GAPWUZ representatives and members in Harare, Mutare, Bulawayo, Masvingo and Kariba between July and September 2011.

The purpose of the Citizenship Project is to train GAPWUZ members in understanding the citizenship law in Zimbabwe, its impact on the lives of affected members, how to record and collect useful data from affected members and remedies and mitigation methods available and any practical training that might assist farm workers in mitigating the impact of this law on affected GAPWUZ members. The training also focuses on human rights in general, the rights of farm workers in particular.

Besides training, another component of the project is educational materials distribution whereby 18 000 copies of four LRF pamphlets; (a) Citizenship in Zimbabwe (b) Birth Certificates (c) Declaration of Rights and (d) Rights of Agricultural Workers will be availed to GAPWUZ in three languages (English, Ndebele and Shona) for distribution through its offices.

The Legal Resources Foundation is an autonomous, charitable and educational Trust, established by trust deed and registered under the Welfare Organisations Act [93/67] in 1984 (now Private Voluntary Organisations Act [Chapter. 17:05]).  It was established to meet an expressed need to improve the accessibility of legal and information services to all sections of the population. 

The operative arms of the Legal Resources Foundation are the centres, the first of which was opened in Harare in July 1985. Further centres were opened in Bulawayo in 1987, Gweru and Masvingo in 1991 and Mutare in 1996. The Legal Publications Unit (LPU) was opened in Harare in 1987. The LRF has a national network of 23 full time legal advice centres and four part-time, covering all provinces except Mashonaland West.
