Mainstreaming Disability

We helps mainstream disability:

By supporting, guiding, monitoring, evaluating and providing counsel to Partner NGOs. These comprise of ophthalmologists, paramedics, hospital administrators, teachers, trainers, resource persons, grass root level field workers and others, in the areas of medical, educational and vocational rehabilitation of persons with disabilities thereby improving the quality of life.

By networking with other INGO and the Government policy-making bodies.

In consultation with the regional office national and international cadre of advisers/consultants/trainers who come recommended with a high sense of professional expertise in their respective fields.

Strategic focus areas

Using our experience of working with partners, governments and communities, CBM in India has identified five strategic focus areas where the above-mentioned goals are covered thematically:

Rehabilitation

We believe, where possible, in participation of the person with the disability.

We reach to the poor in rural and urban areas through cost effective interventions in health, education, livelihood, social protection, empowerment and employment.

There is a shift from the institution-based care to community based rehabilitation services. Trained workers offer individual care and strengthen Disabled People’s Organisation (DPOs), Parent Groups and Self help Groups (SHGs).
