Our Model: Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR)

At Voices of Hope Foundation (VOHF), we use the globally endorsed Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) model—recommended by WHO, UNESCO, and ILO—as our core approach under the JuZa flagship. This evidence-based model addresses five key areas: Health, Education, Livelihood, Social Inclusion, and Empowerment. It enables us to dismantle systemic barriers by promoting early disability screening, inclusive education, economic opportunities for caregivers, anti-stigma efforts, and youth-led advocacy, driving sustainable, community-led change for children and youth with disabilities across Zanzibar.
