Help Change Lives!
By choosing CBM Meaningful Gifts you are helping people with disabilities living in poverty around the world.
Darkness be gone! Let a child see the world the way God made it. Let the colours of the world burst into a child’s life in all their rapturous glory. Let there be sight!
How a Meaningful Gift like yours can make a blind child see!
Can you imagine a little boy growing up unable to see his mother’s smile? Or play tag with the children in his village? Or even go to school?
This was Sudip’s life. The cataracts clouding his eyes were taking away these simple pleasures and the education he so rightly deserved.
Sudip grew up in Nepal. A long way from hospitals and ophthalmologists.
He was just 3 when his mum and dad first noticed a problem. As his dad, told us...
“Sudip was struggling to see things. His biggest difficulty was during bright sunlight. He began to hold his hand up to cover his right eye when looking at things.”
A child with untreated cataracts is a child who’s slowly losing their unique window to the world.
A Meaningful Gift of Sight will help another person like Sudip regain their sight, what an incredible gift.
Christine sat alone
Christine could hear the other children outside. Their laughter. Their voices. The thunder of their feet pounding the hard-baked earth as they ran outside, playing their games.
“I just want to walk like other children.”She said. “I pray often to God that my legs will straighten.”
Christine was in constant agony. The pain from her bow-legs relentless. Worse still, if she didn’t have surgery, she would have faced a future of permanent disability.
Now, thanks to CBM supporters, she’s had the surgery and can walk the earth with joy! A Meaningful Gift of Mobility will help another person like Christine regain their mobility and independence and get “up and at em”.
“If it were not for you, I would not be here”.
Tsotsowani keeps smiling. No matter what. At the age of 71, and confined to a wheelchair with leprosy, she’s raising 6 grandchildren alone.
Yet still she keeps smiling. Not even the terrible drought that afflicted her crops over the last four years could stop her smiling.
But then this year the crisis in Zimbabwe deepened. She and hergrand children faced the very real prospect of starvation.
Thankfully, CBM supporters like you gave generously and she now has chickens and goats and access to a new community garden. Tsotsowani knows that good people like you saved her family...
“Tell the donors, if it were not for you, we would not be here.”She says. “We are surviving because of you.”
The business of change.
Shankar lives in a remote village in eastern Nepal. Blind since the age of 30, he was beginning to really struggle with life.
But then a kind CBM supporter like you gave him the change he really needed. A Kickstarter Business loan. Along with his newly acquired skill of making bamboo stools, Shankar was able to start a new business working from home.
Now he has a sustainable livelihood and hope for the future. This is the kind of change you can bring about with your Meaningful Gift today!
Hope in a Time of Fear
For 30 year old Sabin from Nepal – who has a spinal cord injury –COVID-19 meant suddenly doing without vital medicine and an array of assistive tools for taking care of his toiletry needs.
“During lockdown I didn’t have money to buy that stuff,”He says. “Even if I could arrange for the money, I couldn’t go out to get them. I was worried I might get an infection. It was very difficult.”
Sabin was incredibly grateful for the Hygiene Kit he received from CBM. Thanks to a kind supporter like you, he received everything he needed and more.
“I am very happy,”Says Sabin. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart!”
