Haiti
CBM in Haiti - past and present
CBM has been actively working towards improving the quality of life of people with a disability in Haiti for more than 30 years. To date our efforts have focused on the prevention of blindness, special education for children with disabilities, community based rehabilitation and clubfoot programmes.
The earthquake of 2010 had devastating results. The need to rebuild from virtually nothing has led us to expand our mandate in Haiti and work with local organisations and government agencies to promote change.
CBM’s current focus areas in Haiti
CBM is committed to Haiti, not just during the rebuilding from the earthquake but for the foreseeable future. A long-term strategy has been developed, in which 23 programmes (for the year 2011) have been identified for implementation, covering five focus areas.
