ESS Legal Assurance Scheme
How it works
Why Join Legal Assurance Scheme?
​
In Tanzania, free Legal aid is available only for individuals with income below $150 per month, but private advocate fees start at $ 500, leaving out those earning between $ 150 and $ 500 a month.
​
In view of this, ESS has come up with an innovative and unique approach known as the ESS Legal Assurance Scheme which will enhance people-centered justice affordably.
The Legal Assurance coverage is like having a lawyer on retainer. You purchase our services before an incident happens, so when you need legal services as a member, you can access them.
​
We have four categories of cards: Gold, Platinum, Silver, and Copper to choose from depending on individual choice, and these cards have an annual subscription fee:
​
1. A gold card that covers 6 people in a family is for Tsh 360,000/= per year.
2. A Platinum card that covers 4 people in a family is for only Tsh 300,000/= per year.
3. A Silver card that covers 2 people in a family is for only Tsh 180,000/= per year.
4. A copper card that covers a single person is for only Tsh 120,000/= per year.

Each card costs Tsh 5,000 per person covered.

The Program has been in operation since 2018. Enrolled members who have benefited from this program have a motto that says “Don’t Talk to Me, Talk to My Lawyer.”
