Mission Statement
Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights. On January 24th 2018, the global Handicap International network became Humanity & Inclusion. This network is composed of a Federation which implements our programmes in the field in around sixty countries and of eight national associations. These programmes or national associations are known as "Handicap International" or "Humanity & Inclusion", depending on the country.
