CBM

CBM marks World NTD Day - 30th January 2022- Celebrating progress and taking action to #EndtheNeglect and #BeatNTDs

This is the 4th year of the UN International Day of Education, on 24 January. This year the theme is "Changing Course, Transforming Education".

World Braille Day is celebrated annually on January 4. This Day is observed to raise awareness of the importance of Braille as a means of communication in the full realization of the human rights for blind and partially sighted people.

Earlier this year, CBM along with its local partner Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre for Disabled Children (HRDC) organised a mobile health and rehabilitation camp in Nepal.

On International Day of Persons with Disabilities we draw from IDMC’s latest research in Nigeria and Colombia to highlight how the negative effects of displacement fall heavily on those with disabilities.

Since August 2017, extreme violence in Myanmar has driven almost 860,000 Rohingya refugees across the border into Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. In partnership with the Centre for Disability in Development (CDD), CBM has been providing health and rehabilitation services in the Rohingya camps and host community for four years. Now we are excited to share our documentation on the CBM/CDD model of health and rehabilitation service provision.
