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.
