Overview

CDMD contribute to the promotion rights and equal opportunities of persons with disabilities by coordinating services through community based approaches in 26 districts of five provinces of Cambodia. We provide a comprehensive community based rehabilitation (CBR) services to persons with disabilities and their families, and collaborating with government and non-government agencies to facilitate assistance for disabled persons to access the services.

Background

The core program of CDMD, Community Based Rehabilitation, has a long history with many years of experience and expertise devoted to its realisation. In 1993 the program started under the name Rehabilitation for Blind Cambodians - Community Based Rehabilitation (RBC- CBR). At that time it was part of the international NGO called Maryknoll. In the year 2000 the program RBC- CBR was handed over to Caritas, another international NGO, and Daughters of Charity based in Thailand administered the program. Eventually in 2007 the local staff felt the urge to become independent and create a new sense of ownership. With the support and recommendation of Caritas, the project was localised and a new independent, registered and local non-governmental aid organisation called ‘Cambodian Development Mission for Disability’ – CDMD - was established.
