General Information
Voces is an organisation that is committed to fighting poverty and exclusion by raising public awareness about poverty issues among Spanish and Latin-American people. Voces comprises a community of well known recognised Spanish and Latin-American artists (actors and actresses, musicians, plastic artists, photographers, etc.), who become the image and the voice of the campaigns we implement. We also work in advocacy and promote the potential of young people for activism in favour of fighting poverty. At the moment, we have an staff of seven people, but we also have lots of partners.  Some of our main partners are Google, AECID, Vaughan, Fundación Germán Sánchez Ruiperez, Fundación Secretariado Gitano, El diario El Mundo, Festival Mulafest, Zinc Shower, Fundación Proyecto Solidario por la Infancia, Tuenti,... We have both sources of funding, public and private of both companies and people . We organise concerts, exhibitions, produce documentaries and films, make songs, etc. Through our activities and thanks to our artists' work we attract media attention to poverty issues. We also work in advocacy and promote the potential of young people for activism in favour of fighting poverty.
Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to achieve sustainable development of individuals and peoples, against poverty, taking culture as a source of inspiration and basis for social change. We are a network of people committed to social change through advocacy, mobilization and implementation of initiatives to promote culture as a way to extend the opportunities of children and youth at social risk, both in Spain and in other countries.

Main Projects / Activities

Voces believes that culture is a key tool for achieving a better world, and thus, as well as implementing awareness campaigns where artists take an active part, we also execute projects whose main goal is the promotion of culture as a means to fighting poverty and exclusion. In this respect, we work in Mali, Marruecos and Haiti, where we have organised workshops with artists and are putting in place arts schools for children, and in Spain we work with children and youths at social risk in the fields of music and theatre.
