Humanity & Inclusion (HI)
Humanity & Inclusion / Handicap International (HI) is an independent and impartial aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. The organisation works 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.ย
Since its creation in 1982, HI has run development programmes in more than 60 countries and responded to numerous emergencies. Today, we have a budget of approximately 255 million euros, with 4794 employees worldwide.ย
At Handicap International-Humanity & Inclusion, we truly believe in the importance of inclusion and diversity within our organisation. This is why we are engaged to a disability policy to encourage the inclusion and integration of people with disabilities.ย

Humanitarian Context:
The Syrian crisis is one of the greatest humanitarian crises of the last 20 years, affecting around 16.7 million people, including 2.05 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). Over 5 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighboring countries or Europe. Humanitarian needs are immense, particularly in healthcare, local economy, and the inclusion of vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities.
Handicap International Program Strategy :
The actual intervention is based on a mix of remote management of national teams, remote partnerships with local structures and organizations, and direct implementation programs.
HI is leading a large humanitarian program from three different hubs (Beirut, North-West and North-East), along four main pillars:
Support to Health Partners: Provide multidisciplinary rehabilitation services (physical rehabilitation, mental health support, prosthetics, etc.). Humanitarian Mine Action: Includes clearance, risk education, and victim assistance. Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities: Strengthen individual and collective inclusion of persons with disabilities into basic services. Training and Support to Other Humanitarian Actors: Help other organizations integrate persons with disabilities and vulnerable groups into their responses.
ย New sectors of interventions could include Inclusive Education and Economic Inclusion in the upcoming years.
