Situated fifteen kilometres from CRP's Savar headquarters, CRP-Gonokbari is a residential vocational training and independent living centre for disabled women and girls. The situation for disabled women in Bangladesh is especially difficult. They have to cope with the obstacles relating to their disability along with the everyday obstacles in a patriarchal society like Bangladesh. It is often the case that if a woman becomes paralysed, her husband will take another wife, leaving the woman to look after herself and her family with no support. If a woman can earn a living through the skills learnt at CRP-Gonokbari her chances of successful re-integration into their community and acceptance by her family increase dramatically.

The main hostel at CRP-Gonokbari accommodates up to twenty-eight women and girls, giving them the chance to learn the necessary skills to be able to cope with life and their disability when they return to their community. Vocational training courses include:
Embroidery
Weaving
Tailoring
Shop keeping
Shoe making
Gardening
Art
Fish and medicinal plant cultivation

Further education is also provided along with training in basic living skills. Together, this training gives the residents of CRP-Gonokbari the opportunity to live as independently as possible after leaving the centre and returning to their community.

The adjacent "Halfway Hostel" is run with minimum supervision and prepares residents for returning to their home communities. The residents must cook, clean and work on their own. The hostel has been designed to replicate most of the conditions usually found in a typical Bangladeshi village.

Recreational activities are considered an integral part of rehabilitation. Residents participate in a weekly drama therapy programme and enjoy singing and other artistic activities. These also give the residents an opportunity to express their opinions and increase their self-esteem.

CRP Gonokbari also has five shops to enable residents to learn shop-keeping skills. Additionally, garments made at CRP-Gonokbari are sold in local markets and fares, fish, plants, flowers and medicinal plants are cultivated and a printing press has been established which is used for the production of all the paper based documents (such as receipts, patient detail forms and annual reports) used by CRP.
