The Power of Nothing About Us Without Us! (NOW-Us!)
We started eight years ago to run an innovative grant facility for diversity and inclusion. To reach the furthest behind first and support their empowerment, their influencing capacities and the amplification of their initiatives.
For Voice it means recognising, respecting and ensuring that rightsholders are leading their own change agendas for inclusion, development and rights.
Join us as we celebrate the beauty of diversity and the power of inclusion! Through this map, we share with you the vibrant energy of Voice focus countries as we look back on our journeys the past eight years, and more importantly, look forward to what we can still do together. Keep posted as we continuously update this map with snippets from celebrations around the different countries!

INCLUSION. INNOVATION. INDABA.
The Inclusion Innovation Indaba (I3) is a platform to share lessons, doubts, successes and surprises. The fifth and final Indaba, themed 'The Power of NOW-Us!’, brought alive the principle of NOW-Us in our actions and practices. Representatives from the big, beautifully diverse Voice community gathered in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, together with strategic partners and other stakeholders in a meaningful three-day event where stories were told and future actions, with or without Voice, were shared. Below is an art piece that brings together what's at the core of Voice-- the rightsholders, and the power of NOW-Us that lives in them This collage brings together a rich mosaic of voices, each one telling its own unique story. As you look at it, you see how different backgrounds and experiences come together to form a powerful journey. Each image reflects the strength found in inclusion-- where every voice matters and adds to a bigger, shared story. By blending these diverse perspectives, we break down barriers and build stronger, more connected communities. It's a visual testament to how coming together and valuing each other's contributions can lead to something truly meaningful and impactful.
Voice has always been about the rightsholders and their narratives. It is about understanding the differences and similarities among communities and advocacies, the boundaries and possibilities when we come together, and the magic this togetherness brings when we uphold each other’s dignity. Listen to the magical moments of individuals and organisations from our Voice community!
