Cause & Prevention

Our focus is on the prevention and treatment of diseases wherever possible and education and rehabilitation so that people with disability can be included into their society as equals and lead a largely independent life.

CBM always works in partnership with national and local organisations; is recognised by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and provides an important advocacy link between the blind, deaf and disabled and their governments.
