Who is CBM Global?
CBM Global Disability Inclusion works alongside and is accountable to people with disabilities in the world’s poorest places. We draw on more than 110 years’ experience to fight poverty and exclusion and transform lives. We work with the most marginalised in society to:
- Break the cycle of poverty and disability.
- Treat and prevent conditions that lead to disability.
- Build inclusive communities where everyone can enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential.
Our approach does not just look to bring about change and transformation at an individual level but we challenge systemic exclusion and discrimination faced by people with disabilities; a stark reality that the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed.
We maximise our impact by delivering a combination of inclusive community-based programmes, advocacy for national and global policy change and inclusion advice to other organisations.
Our Vision and Mission
If you are poor, you are much more likely to have a disability because of poor nutrition and unsafe working conditions, as well as lack of access to medical care, clean water and sanitation. The negative impact of climate change is being tangibly felt by communities in countries across the Global South and it brings into sharp focus the disproportionate effect that climate change is having on people with disabilities. The discrimination and exclusion faced by people with disabilities in health, education, and livelihood, for example, results in an increased risk of vulnerability and the likelihood to become and stay poor. But this vicious cycle of poverty and disability can be broken.
At CBM Global, we have a vision for an inclusive world in which all people with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential.
We are driven by our mission: Fighting to end the cycle of poverty and disability.
