Our Programmes
We offer a range of evidence-based, participatory group programmes that aim to build caregiver knowledge, confidence and skills and promote inclusion and participation for children. All of our programmes embrace the value of lived experience and are designed to be co-facilitated by expert parents.
Through training, mentorship, and shared learning, we support organisations to deliver these programmes with fidelity. We also support partners to adapt the programmes while preserving the integrity of the core approach.

Baby Ubuntu is our programme of early care and peer support for the youngest children with developmental disabilities. Designed for children aged 0–3, it provides targeted support during the critical first 1,000 days of life—maximising child outcomes and strengthening family wellbeing from the very start.
Ubuntu Kids (Version 2 of ‘Getting to know Cerebral Palsy’) is for children aged 2-11+ with developmental disabilities and their families. The programme was developed in Ghana and Bangladesh and has been used globally for over 15 years. Baby Ubuntu and Juntos are based on this programme.


The Juntos (Together) Programme is a community-based programme to support caregivers of children with Congenital Zika Syndrome. It was co-designed with families in Brazil and Colombia and has versions in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Obuntu bulamu aims to improve inclusion of children with disabilities in schools, and communities through peer support. It was developed in Uganda and co designed with children with disabilities, parents, teachers, and researchers. The package includes manuals and resources for children, parents and teachers. Research has shown the Obuntu bulamu intervention can improve inclusion and participation of children with disabilities.​

Additional Modules:
These modules can be included with the above programme or used to facilitate a group session on their own using a participatory approach to learning.Â
Building Foundations:
This module focuses on livelihoods, supporting caregivers to explore practical ways to strengthen household income and financial stability. It recognises poverty as a significant barrier to child development and family wellbeing and supports families to build more secure foundations for the future.
Fathers:
This fathers-only module supports men to better understand disability and explore their vital role in caring for a child with a developmental disability. It creates space for reflection, learning, and shared experiences, strengthening fathers’ engagement in caregiving and family life.
The Baby Ubuntu facilitator manual is now available as an app!

The resources, manuals and tablet application are designed and intended to be delivered by trained facilitators.
They help to guide trained facilitators through the programme and provide a layout of each session and description of activities.
