| Project Information: | The Guyana Community Based Rehabilitation Programme (also known as GCBRP Hopeful Steps) is one of the oldest CBR programmes in Latin America and the Caribbean. It covers seven of the ten administrative regions of Guyana with nine local CBR programmes. It provides basic rehabilitation services for people with disabilities, approx. 400 clients, and facilitates their inclusion into family, community and school life. In collaboration with MoH, CBM is supporting an early detection and intervention programme for children in Georgetown, as well as inclusive education as part of the CBR Programme. The GCBRP receives support from the Italian NGO Amici Di Raoul Follereau (AIFO) and has a core of committed, skilled volunteers (VSO). Training is a key feature of the programme. |
