Social Voices is a fast-growing, innovative media outlet that harnesses storytelling, civic development, and cutting-edge technology to highlight and promote local solutions to real-world issues, as well as advance democracy.
Emerging as a pioneer in Nigerian solutions journalism in 2021, we became one of the first newsrooms supported by the Solutions Journalism Africa Initiative (SJAI). This established us as a leading digital source for in-depth, solutions-focused coverage of gender issues, climate change, healthcare, education, and development.
Since then, Social Voices has scaled its efforts by training over 400 journalists across West Africa and expanding our focus to produce and feature solutions-oriented stories that originate from and address issues within Nigeria, Malawi, Zimbabwe, and Uganda. We have also successfully nurtured a network of over 100 freelance journalists who support our work and contribute to our digital platform.
Our mission is to be the preeminent voice amplifying the stories, influencing solutions, and driving collective action of communities across Nigeria and Africa through pioneering solutions-focused journalism and citizen engagement initiatives.
We envision a continent where marginalized voices shape equitable policies, grassroots solutions thrive, and informed citizens actively engage in the decision-making processes that affect their lives.
