Mpume Danisa
Technical Programme Specialist, Implementation
Mpume Danisa works as a Technical Programme Specialist at Clowns Without Borders South Africa, where she supports the Department of Social Development and non-government organisations implementing Parenting for Lifelong Health programmes in South Africa. Mpume started her NGO career in 1999 working with children living on the streets of Durban. Her work centred on building trust with young people at risk, encouraging them to make positive choices and where possible, reuniting them with their families. This experience exposed her to extreme conditions of poverty and inequality, leading her to pursue her postgraduate studies focusing on the Economics of Development. She joined CWBSA in 2014 and began working on Parenting for Lifelong Health in 2015, coordinating the intervention during the randomised control trial of the Sinovuyo for Parents and Teens programme.
