1. Background:

At CBM, we have a vision of an inclusive world in which all people with disabilities enjoy their human rights and achieve their full potential. As a disability and development organization, we are committed to improving the quality of life of people with disabilities and those at risk of disability by addressing disability as a cause of and as a result of poverty. Our Disability Inclusive Programme work provides opportunities to strengthen the voice and autonomy of people with disabilities; building inclusive and resilient communities; building inclusive and sustainable local and national systems and services; and supporting populations affected by natural and manmade disasters to have access to inclusive humanitarian assistance and protection. Our program work is designed to harness the powers of partnerships, networks and alliances, community participation, and evidence-based interventions addressing the intricate intersection of poverty and disability at individual, local, and national level. This is in line with our tagline, Together We Can Do More.

In line with our mandate, CBM in Kenya wants to explore and tap into in-country funding sources so as to transform the lives of girls, boys, women and men with disabilities in Kenya.
