About Us
The Voice Inc. is a global community committed to empowering individuals with disabilities and their families through advocacy, personalized mentoring, enrichment programs, and faith formation.
Our History
The Voice Inc. was established in June 1994 by Rev. Moses Sowale in Isara Remo, Ogun State, Nigeria, driven by a profound concern for social justice and the inequalities faced by diverse socio-economic and political groups.
This visionary journey began with a pivotal conversation among four friends, laying the foundation for an organization inspired by the biblical mandate of Isaiah 40:1-5, which calls for comfort and raising up the marginalized among God’s people.
Its core mission embraced the;
- empowerment of individuals to claim their identity in all circumstances,
- encouraging accountability,
- fostering the maximization of potential,
- creating safe spaces for belonging, advocating for social justice, and
- addressing fundamental human needs.
Our Mission
Our mission is to support inclusivity, acceptance, and equity while fostering identity development, educational enrichment, spirituality, and social connections for people of all abilities.
We strive to create a supportive community where everyone is valued, empowered to reach their full potential, and can make meaningful contributions to society.

The Starfish Difference
“The skills and the confidence that camp has taught him in just two weeks every summer has been life changing. Camp is the ONE place he feels 100% safe. Not just physically safe, but safe with his emotions and thoughts. He KNOWS everything about him will not only be accepted, but appreciated. All of the tools you have given him have helped shape the incredible person he is now, and I can’t thank you enough, from the bottom of my heart.”

“We were so impressed with everything Starfish had to offer, from the application process to picking up our child. Everything was smooth, seamless, and had the child’s best interest and growth in mind. I’m so grateful Starfish exists and that we were able to access it in order to give our child this experience.

Working here has proven to myself and others that I can do it. I have left Starfish a completely different person from who I was when I arrived, and in the best way possible.
