Legal and Human Rights Centre is a nongovernmental human rights organisation based in Dar es Salaam as its Head Quarters and having a sub-office in Arusha. It was founded and registered in 1995 under the Companies Ordinance, Chapter 212 of the laws of Tanzania as a company without shares limited by guarantee. Before its registration in September, 1995 the Centre was a human rights project of the Tanzania Legal Education Trust (TANLET).
Its main purpose is to strive to empower the public, promote, reinforce and safeguard human rights and good governance in Tanzania.
The founders were disillusioned by the State and its policies which were, slowly, alienating the majority of the people. They observed increasing human rights violations such as land evictions of Masai pastoralists, human rights abuses of the people of Hanang whose land had been acquired by the Government and turned into big wheat farms of NAFCO and there were alarming numbers of citizens finding themselves in problems mostly because of ignorance of the law and of their rights. Therefore, human rights camps organised by the University of Dar es Salaam started to raise awareness on issues of human rights and citizen’s responsibility
