Programme Areas
ATL operates through strategic pillars aimed at transforming lives, restoring dignity, and building strong futures.
Prison Justice, Dignity and Rehabilitation
ATL's flagship focus is prison justice and dignity. We support access to justice for vulnerable detainees, especially those who cannot afford legal representation or whose cases have been delayed. We also promote humane treatment, rehabilitation, welfare support, and reintegration for prisoners and ex-prisoners.

Drug abuse is affecting many young people, families, schools, and communities. We believe drug-dependent persons need support, guidance, rehabilitation, skills, family support, and opportunities to rebuild their lives. ATL promotes prevention, awareness, counselling, referral, recovery support, and reintegration.
