The Action Foundation (TAF) operates through a high-performing, inclusive, and mission-driven team that blends technical expertise, lived experience, and strong community roots to drive systemic change for children with disabilities (CWDs). 

Our multidisciplinary staff includes program managers, policy advocates, monitoring, evaluation, and learning specialists, child health and development practitioners, media and communications professionals, inclusive education experts, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists, nutritionists and caregivers. 

These professionals work collaboratively across programs to deliver holistic, evidence-based interventions while also strengthening the capacity of healthcare workers and educators within public systems. TAF’s staff and board are deeply aligned with the organization’s values, bringing decades of collective experience in disability rights, inclusive service delivery and gender equity. 

We invest in our people through structured mentorship, coaching and ongoing training in disability-inclusive and gender-responsive approaches. This commitment to professional growth – supported by strong internal systems – ensures program quality, consistency and innovation across all areas of our work. 62% of our team members are women and 19% are individuals with disabilities / caregivers of individuals with disabilities, reflecting our values of representation and inclusion. 

Our adaptive operating model is anchored in three pillars: agile operations, strategic partnerships, and human-centered design. This agility enables us to respond swiftly to emerging needs, for example, mobilizing emergency relief during Nairobi’s floods or developing accessible home-based learning materials during COVID-19 school closures.
