what we do

CCBRT provides high quality medical care and rehabilitative services to people with disabilities (who we serve).

CCBRT applies a comprehensive approach. This includes medical care and physical rehabilitation as well as services that strengthen social inclusion and empowerment for its patients.

 


We also run a PEPFAR programme which focuses on making HIV/AIDS services more accessible to people with disabilities.

Services are accessible first and foremost to poor patients: 90% of CCBRT's clients are from a poor background.

what we aim to achieve

CCBRT's programmes aim to:

  • prevent impairments and disabilities
  • treat or cure disabilities
  • improve the physical condition of patients with disabilities
  • empower those with disabilities and HIV/Aids to assert their rights and to make a contribution to their own livelihood through:
    - including children in mainstream schools
    - making economic empowerment activities accessible
    - improving the physical accessibility of facilities
    - training and recruitment services for people with disabilities in cooperation
      with Radar Development
  •  mainstreaming disability into the agenda of other development organisations.
