Our engagements
The vernissage
Supporting local artists at the Vernissage, annual reception of ADS Insight
At ADS Insight we have made it a point to use our position to turn every event into something meaningful. The idea of combining our annual end-of-year reception with a Vernissage for an artist has been a mutually rewarding experience for our guests, ourselves and the artist. Over the years, we have welcomed close to 20 artists, photographers, and jewelry designers to exhibit in our offices. Often, we matched every purchase of art with a donation to a charity.

Vital Voices
Empowering women and girls
The Vital Voices Global Partnership is an American international, not-for-profit, and non-governmental organisation that works with women leaders in the areas of economic empowerment, women’s political participation, and human rights. Vital Voices is headquartered in Washington D.C.
ADS Insight came into contact with Vital Voices in 2019 when founder Aida Bakri, was selected as a mentee of the Vital Voices and Bank of America Global Ambassadors’ Programme. She was matched with the phenomenal woman entrepreneur, Norah Casey, and the empowerment received can simply not be measured. In order to pay it forward, ADS Insight has been actively engaged in promoting the activities of Vital Voices and fully supports its mission. Furthermore, Aida has been a judge and trainer on the Vital Voices WE Empower programme since 2020.
ADS Insight also encourages all staff to engage in mentoring which is a key component in the empowerment of women and girls.
