CBM

CBM is carrying out life-saving work in remote areas in many countries to ensure that no one is left behind during the corona pandemic.

On 6 March 2020, Cameroon confirmed its first COVID-19 case. As the virus spread and the number of confirmed cases increased, the government decided to close all schools. More than two months after suspension of classes due to the coronavirus, final year students in primary school and secondary school returned to school in early June 2020.

CBM supports the launch of the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report 2020 on inclusion and education – all means all.

Ensuring that no one is left behind in the corona crisis

On 13 June 2020, CBM celebrates International Albinism Awareness Day. Our projects worldwide focus not just on medical assistance, but also on broad education and awareness-raising. Many people affected by albinism are more concerned about the exclusion they experience than the physical ailments. CBM advocates for their inclusion and active participation in all projects, so that they have the same opportunities as everyone else.

CBM alongside its long-standing partners Sundarban Social Development Centre (SSDC) and The Leprosy Mission Trust India (TLMTI) is ramping up relief efforts for those affected by Cyclone Amphan.
