Our Team
Baby Ubuntu is led by a skilled, interdisciplinary, and globally diverse team of clinicians, researchers, expert parents, technicians and managers, supported by a global network of partner organisations.
Our implementation partners are responsible for the successful delivery of the programme on the ground in the countries where we work.
United by a shared commitment to equity and inclusion, we combine scientific expertise, practical innovation, and deep local knowledge to strengthen support for children with developmental disabilities and their families worldwide.
