Harnessing the power of expert parents to create inclusive families and communities for children with developmental disabilities

Worldwide, there are more than 50 million young children with developmental disabilities, most in low- and middle-income countries with limited access to early and effective care

The first 1,000 days offers a powerful opportunity to shape the future for young children with developmental disabilities. Yet in many settings families still lack access to proven, affordable, and scalable solutions that enable children to play, learn and participate fully in family and community life.

Baby Ubuntu is building scalable, disability-inclusive child health systems for children with developmental disabilities

Baby Ubuntu harnesses the power of expert parents to turn proven early intervention strategies into routine, scalable family-centred disability care where all children with disabilities are included, supported and valued within their families and communities.
