Our Team

Riders resource office in the UK has 16 full time members of staff, but the vast majority of Riders’ staff, over 230 of them, work in our field programmes and are nationals of the counties in which they work. To contact our UK or field offices, click here.

In Africa the Riders for Health's teams are made up entirely of nationals of the countries in which we work. It is thanks to their hard work and dedication that Riders is able to help health workers across Africa to reach nearly 11 million people with regular healthcare.
