YOKUK aims to build on the spirit of a caring society through its Community-based Rehabilitation Program (CBR).

They come to the centre daily for therapy program, workshop, vocational class or any other activities. For clients who come from poor families or live in impoverished rural areas hence can™t afford to come to our centre, YOKUK will visit them at their homes. During this visit, we teach the family member on how to take care of the disabled as well as do simple therapy.
