Continuing our Get to Know the Team series, we are delighted to introduce Ms Thando Ndita, our Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) Manager.
Thando is a human rights researcher affiliated with a Hague-based organisation, where her work focuses on bringing attention to human rights issues that often do not make it into mainstream media or policy conversations. Her research has explored areas such as caste-based discrimination, democratic governance, political repression, and access to justice, all grounded in a strong commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices.
