In countries throughout the developing world, intellectual disability is frequently seen as a curse from God. The very real difficulties of intellectual disability are compounded by stigma. Too often the stigma leads to neglect, further unnecessary developmental delays, tragic lives and early death.

You can transform this "curse" with the living love of Christ.

A lack of adequate pre and ante-natal care, widespread malnutrition, rampant malaria, and heightened incidences of conditions like hydrocephalus, microcephalus and spina bifida in developing countries mean that most of the estimated 100 million men, women and children living with some degree of intellectual disablity can be found in the poorer countries of the world.

Through community-based care programs, cbm is finding and enabling thousands of these people each year. Last year, we helped more than 48,000 people with special intellectual needs.

You can make a difference.
