The impact of your donations

Partnering for strengthened outcomes and impact

CBM Australia supports people with disabilities and their families to take pathways out of poverty and exclusion, ultimately benefiting the whole community. We strive for social justice and to end the cycle of poverty and disability.

No one should be isolated or marginalised because they have a disability. Our community-level programs provide opportunities for people with disabilities to understand their rights, access to education, medical assistance and equipment, and become agents for local change.

CBM works with local partners including local Organisations of People with Disabilities (OPDs), so that people with disabilities influence local decisions, including how we work. Without your charitable contributions and donations to support people with disabilities during times of extreme difficulty, it would not be possible for CBM Australia to make direct and long-lasting change for those living in poverty across the globe.

CBM acknowledges the support of the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP) to 18 projects that responded to COVID-19 in 2020.

CBM Australia’s Annual Report 2023

Together we continue to achieve extraordinary things alongside people with disabilities and their representative organisations in the poorest communities across the globe.

Australia, our region, and the world continue to wrestle with great uncertainty, fuelled by climate, conflict, and broader health anxieties. It is our ability to live with uncertainty, while being diligently constructive with the things we can control, that makes all the difference. People with disabilities in the poorest communities need us to make that difference by being their undaunted allies.
