The mission of the LCHR
The Land Center was established to defend the farmers and the Egyptian rural causes from the view of human rights, as none of the human rights NGOs working in Egypt tackled such cross cutting issues.
LCHR Objectives:
• Contributing to the improvement of the farmers economic and social conditions in the Egyptian countryside;
• Monitoring the violations of the human rights taking place in the Egyptian villages;
• Increasing the citizens awareness by spreading the human rights culture and encouraging the joint work and coordination between the civil society foundations, supporting their independence and reinforcing the democracy and human rights values;
• Participating in the economic agrarian reform program in Egypt, to guarantee the farmers rights to their lands safely; and
• Revealing the views and needs of the poor in Egypt and enabling them to participate in the decision and program making processes.

• Study and enhancement of farmers rights in the Egyptian countryside.
