PM donates Tk 10 crore to CRP
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday donated Tk 10 crore to the Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed (CRP) to continue its healthcare and other services.
The donation came from the prime minister so that the CRP can run its activities smoothly, confirmed PM's Press Secretary Ihsanul Karim.
CRP, which began its journey in 1979 in order to meet the desperate needs of people with disabilities, provides medical treatment, rehabilitation and support services focusing on physical, emotional, social, psychological and economic aspects.
It promotes the development of skilled personnel in healthcare 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 organisations.
The centre, situated in Savar, also 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.
