Global Leadership in Disability Inclusion
The Pineda Foundation is a global non-profit organization that promotes the rights and dignities of persons with disabilities by advancing inclusive urban development, digital equity, and human rights-based frameworks.
Building a World Where Everyone Can Thrive
Dr. Victor Santiago Pineda — global changemaker, advisor to corporate executives, senior government leaders, and the World Economic Forum — has transformed how nations and cities deliver inclusion. From shaping the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to leading the historic Center for Independent Living in Berkeley, his leadership has driven policies and programs that open doors for millions.
Through the Victor Pineda Foundation, Dr. Pineda turns bold ideas into real-world impact — empowering children in over 16 languages through a groundbreaking UNICEF partnership, and guiding cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi toward accessibility for all.
