CBM is an international Christian disability and development organisation improving the quality of life of people with and at risk of disability in some of the world’s poorest communities.
Too many people face poverty, stigma and isolation, denied the chance to go to school or earn a living, just because they have a disability. And every day people lose the ability to see, hear or walk because of conditions that could easily be treated or prevented. Driven by Christian values, CBM works in the world’s poorest places to reach those whom others leave behind. Working in partnership with Governments and local partners, we create long-term positive change: treating and preventing conditions that lead to disability and enable people with disabilities to go to school, access healthcare, earn a living and be active in their community.
CBM works in nearly 60 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Read more about where we work on the CBM UK website.

Every penny of every gift you give through CBM UK’s gift catalogue helps support our excellent projects overseas in the poorest places of the world. Where your money goes depends on which department your gift falls under.
For example, by giving the gift of ‘Restoring a Child’s Sight’ through cataract surgery, you are supporting one of our programmes that funds cataract operations, along with other surgery, medical treatment and eye health education to prevent blindness in children. In the event of there being insufficient funds to carry out a project or in the event of a surplus arising on a project, funds will be re-directed to wherever the need is greatest. People living in poverty with disability are the world’s poorest people; every penny you give will go directly to supporting the people who need it most.
