CRP-Savar

CRP's headquarter is in Savar, approximately 25km from Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh. Set in around 13 acres of land, the centre comprises an extensive range of services for disabled people as well as CRP's academic institute, the Bangladesh Health Professions Institute (BHPI) and CRP's inclusive school.

CRP moved to Savar in 1990 after eleven years operating from different premises in Dhaka. In addition to the infrastructure necessary for CRP's work, CRP-Savar has been expertly landscaped and provides a peaceful and relaxing environment which is such a vital component of the rehabilitation process. Many different types of trees and flowers are in bloom in different seasons so there is always a colourful display of flora. Sports and recreational facilities are used by CRP's patients, staff and students of BHPI. A large multi-purpose hall provides facilities for cultural events, conferences, meetings, sports events and patient activities.
