IMADRI Pro Bono Mediation Program

IMADRI believes that access to skilled, culturally matched mediation should not depend on financial resources. We reserve a limited number of engagements each year for parties who demonstrate genuine financial need.

Our Commitment

Mediation exists to provide a more accessible, less adversarial alternative to litigation. IMADRI's Pro Bono Program extends that mission to individuals and families who cannot afford full fees — including conflict-affected diaspora families, low-income workers navigating workplace disputes, and small business owners facing commercial disagreements. Applications are reviewed personally by our founder. All information is held in strict confidence.
