1. PROJECT BACKGROUND
Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR) is a collaborative project between ALMA Congregation and Caritas Keuskupan Sibolga (CKS). The project had target to achieve community improvement through rehabilitation, equality, opportunity, and social integration for disable population.
Based on assessment process, it was found that:

- Disability is caused by the insufficient health service and insufficient nutrition during pregnancy time and during baby-age
- Government does not concern to disable issues
- Very few disable people who attend public school
- Low accessibility for disable
- There is no local regulation in the subject of difable
- There is no difable organization in Nias
Given the above situation, Kesusteran ALMA and CKS attempted to address the above problem by developing the project of CBR. The goal of the project is children and adults with disabilities are able to participate in community idependently. The specific objectives of the project are as followed:
- Specific Objective 1 : Accompaniment quality and quantity improvement for 116 CBR disables (Staff Capacity Building)
