Leading in disability inclusive development

CBM is an international development and humanitarian organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities in the world's poorest countries. With an estimated 1.3 billion people with significant disabilities worldwide, the need for inclusive development is more critical than ever. Nearly 80% of these persons live in low- and middle-income countries, where access to basic services and opportunities is often limited.

Our efforts are vital because persons with disabilities face many barriers, including inaccessible health facilities, which are up to six times more difficult to navigate. In addition, children with disabilities, who number nearly 240 million worldwide, are often denied basic rights and opportunities such as education and healthcare. Join us in creating an inclusive world where all persons with disabilities can enjoy their human rights and reach their full potential.
