What is the CRP?

CRP provides medical treatment, rehabilitation and support services focusing on physical, emotional, social, psychological and economic aspects in Bangladesh. It promotes the development of skilled personnel in health care and rehabilitation in the country. CRP has developed centres in different parts of the country to expand the services for disabled people in collaboration with other organizations. 

It promotes empowerment of disabled people through community-based services, advocacy and networking on disability issues and empowerment of disabled girls and women. CRP also raises awareness on disability issues nationally, regionally and internationally.

How the Moulvibazar centre started

CRP commenced outpatient rehabilitation services at Moulvibazar district in April, 2011, where it operates in a building donated by Eng. Sayed Abdul Goffer. This was the first divisional centre of CRP outside of Dhaka. In 2014, engineer Sayed Abdul Goffar offered free use of his building till the construction of permanent centre was completed.

Future plans for the centre

From the inception of the first Moulvibazar CRP centre, the full range of services offered by CRP could not be rolled out to disabled people in the local community due to space limitations.

Recently, Mr Md. Afsarul Haque and Akhtarul Haque donated a 53 decimal land (2150 sqm) to establish a permanent centre at Mokam Bazar. The aim is to develop a centre that can offer full provision to the local community within two years.

This Moulvibazar Centre will be built in the North of Bangladesh and will support paralysed, disabled, children with cerebral palsy, amputees, stroke patients and mental health patients of the Greater Moulvibazar area. Support offered will include services like therapy, medical consultation, mobility aids and assistive devices such as wheelchairs, artificial limbs, motorised wheelchairs, support seating, braces.

The centre will be built in two phases. In the first phase the building will be constructed up to the second floor. The total cost of  the first phase will be £705,000.

How much has been raised?

Donations so far made by GGHSP Fund, Japan Government (£92,000), Engr. Sayed Abdul Goffar (£42,000), Abul Muyeed Chowdhury (£4,700), Martin Rashid Khan (£4,700), Total (including other donations in Bangladesh and UK, and CRP's own contribution) £402,000.
