Outraged by the injustice experienced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a united and inclusive world, where all differences enrich us and where everyone can live upright.

Handicap International changes its name to “Humanity & Inclusion”. HI, Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial international solidarity organization that intervenes in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflicts and disasters. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and bears witness to meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

At Handicap International, we firmly believe in the importance of inclusion and diversity within our structure. This is why we are committed to a disability policy to promote the reception and integration of people with disabilities.
