Raising Voices

Building a World Without Violence

Raising Voices is dedicated to the prevention of violence against women and children in Uganda. We were tasked to modernize their website while preserving the organization’s hard-earned authenticity and cultural relevance.

Problem

The previous website lacked the emotional storytelling or practical application needed to engage a global audience. Visitors struggled to navigate the site, access key resources, and understand the full scope of Raising Voices’ impactful work.

Our Approach

Push10 designed a bold, user-friendly website that highlights Raising Voices’ initiatives while making resources more accessible. By combining vibrant visuals with clear messaging, the new site fosters deeper engagement and positions Raising Voices as a leader in the fight against violence.

01

A Fresh New Look

From the beginning, we engaged the local Ugandan community to help us create a look and feel that was culturally relevant. Together we landed on a rich illustrative style that incorporates traditional Ugandan textile patterns. In addition, we carefully sourced imagery from local photographers with lived experience in Kampala and the surrounding communities.

Reimagining the Site Architecture

We restructured the site to put emphasis on Raising Voices’ audiences of women and children rather than focus solely on the organization’s strategic pillars. Raising Voices’ approach of “practice, learning, and influencing” became a driving force of our overall content strategy.

A Robust Resource Library

We introduced and optimized a new resource library to ensure users could locate vital information, including those without high-speed internet access.

The SASA! Approach

Raising Voices has developed the SASA! approach to violence prevention, which relies on community mobilization and language centered around empowerment. The new site supports this important initiative by ensuring the SASA! content is thorough, yet also easy to locate and understand.

Demonstrating Impact

The previous Raising Voices website documented the organization’s approach, but it didn’t showcase their impact. In creating the new site, we deployed statistics, testimonials, and even short-form case studies to bring real-world results to life online.

It was so meaningful to help Raising Voices further their important violence prevention work. Our teams collaborated closely to authentically represent the people and the culture of Uganda through our design. We believe the new site will help Raising Voices make an even larger impact in the future.
