CBM

April 2019—As an international member of the Global Campaign for Education, CBM campaigns for the universal right to education and actively participates during the annual Global Action Week.

World Health Day 2019—CBM launches the Community Mental Health Initiative to promote meaningful participation in communities, improve quality of life, and broaden the choices of care available for people with psychosocial disabilities.

CBM and the CDD respond to the Rohingya refugee crisis, providing healthcare, mental health, psychosocial and rehabilitation support, especially for marginalized persons and those with disabilities.

CBM and its partners are preparing response to Tropical Cyclone Idai, which has ravaged southern Africa. In such situations, persons with disabilities are always along those worst affected and last to be reached.

How can we reach every last person in need of eye health services? Recognising the need to address this, CBM’s Inclusive Eye Health (IEH) initiative guided by its principles of Inclusion, Integration and Comprehensiveness, has been leading the discussion to partner for solutions that are sustainable for scale and impact.

In recognition of International Women’s Day and the 2019 theme, #Balanceforbetter, CBM is pleased to release an inquiry that looks at some of the care challenges faced by women with disabilities, and families of children with disabilities. It highlights learning and practical steps that CBM’s partners have taken to address these challenges.
