About CBM International
CBM is an international Christian disability and development organisation whose primary purpose is to improve the quality of life of the world's poorest persons with disabilities and those at risk of disability.
Based on its Christian values and over 100 years of professional expertise, CBM addresses poverty as a cause and a consequence of disability, and works in partnership to create a society for all. CBM's vision is "an inclusive world in which all persons with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential".
CBM works with persons with disabilities, their families, local partner organisations, alliance partners including UN agencies, global organisations, and Disabled Persons' Organisations (DPOs).
CBM has been involved from the outset with "VISION 2020: The Right to Sight", a global initiative with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) to eliminate avoidable blindness by the year 2020, and other global initiatives such as education for all and community mental health. CBM is also recognised as a collaborating organisation by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and has a consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC).
