The Centre for the Rehabilitation of the Paralysed, commonly known as CRP, is an organisation which was founded in 1979 by a small group of Bangladeshis and Valerie Taylor OBE.

Miss Taylor came to the country (then known as East Pakistan) in 1969 as a VSO physiotherapist, and was appalled at the lack of facilities for the disabled and the often poor diagnosis by local doctors.

The situation for the disabled was worsened in the aftermath of the 1971 Independence War, after which Bangladesh won its independence from Pakistan.
After many years of disappointments and setbacks, CRP was opened in 1979, The premises were two cement storerooms in the grounds of a Dhaka hospital. The capacity soon grew from 4 patients to about 50. During the next 10 years, CRP move premises three times, the last move being in 1990 to the present site at Savar, 25 km west of Dhaka.

CRP is the only organisation of its kind in Bangladesh, a country with a population of 132 million.
