Together we can do more
cbm recognises that not only should we work to improve the quality of life for people with disability (PWD) but we must also work with people with disabilities.
Although this might sound obvious, past practices by many NGOs have often focused on providing medical or charitable services to people with disabilities rather than empowering people with disabilities to be involved in their communities and reach their potential.
Also, decisions used to be made on behalf of people with disabilities without actually involving them in the decision-making process.
Therefore, cbm works with the following:
• People with disabilities
• The families of people with disabilities
• Organisations that support people with disabilities
• Service providers, businesses and other organisations within the communities of people with disabilities
• Churches
• As well as many others.
