Mission Statement
CBM is an International Christian development organisation, committed to improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities (PwDs) in the poorest countries of the world. CBM envisages an inclusive world in which all persons with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential.Specifically, CBM addresses poverty as a cause, and a consequence, of disability, and works in partnership to create sustainable solutions.
History of operations in Vietnam
CBM commenced its mission in Viet Nam in 1982. After almost three decades of development work through partnership with both government and non-government sectors, CBM continues to work towards inclusion of persons with disabilities in all community activities. CBM is active in three main areas: prevention of blindness/comprehensive eye care, community based rehabilitation and education for the visually impaired. In 2008, CBM was awarded the Friendship Medal by the Government of Vietnam in recognition of our contribution to the blindness prevention in Vietnam over the past 25 years.
