12 July 2005. United Voice made its mark in Malaysian history being the first ever independent society led by persons with learning disabilities. It was an achievement made possible through the determination, persistence and unity of UV members, supporting friends, parents and advisors.
18 March 2007. During this year's AGM, it was proposed by President Johari Jamali and agreed by members present that UV should purchase their own premise.
Background:
UV is currently operating out of the 1st floor of a shoplot in Section 17. The shoplot was graciously extended to UV rent free for 3 years by a generous couple since May 2005. This shoplot houses UV’s office, members meeting place, Employment project workspace, storage space, seminar space for members and public, Computer room, dining area and mini library.

To accommodate to growing number of members:
In a short 3 years our members have grown from 30 to 95. As we continue to promote self advocacy for persons with learning disabilities across Malaysia, we will need more space to expand our services.
To accommodate increasing activities
UV runs and participates in many activities to promote self-advocacy and rights of persons with learning disabilities. Our activities are increasing as we reach out to more public, employers, schools, universities and other organizations.
To Expand UV’s Employment Project
ur current place has limited space to expand our Employment Project. We have several members who are on the waiting list to join the Employment Project.
For Stability
Owning our own premises is a long term investment that provides the organization the security and stability to further expand their mission without having to relocate again.
Barrier Free Environment & Accessibility
Our current rented location is located on the 1st floor, thus members with mobility issues experience difficulties. We hope to be able to make our own premises accessible for persons with disabilities.
Income generating towards self support
Currently UV is supported by individuals, organizations and corporate donors. With our own premises, UV can be creative in generating more income to support the running of the society. |

Our challenge is to raise RM 1 million by September 2008 to secure the shoplot we have identified. We will be actively raising funds throughout the year and we need all the help we can from the public, members, parents, supporting friends and the government.
