40 YEARS OF REACHING OUT TO THE MOST VULNERABLE!

In 1982, two doctors, outraged by the the situation of landmine victims in Cambodian refugee camps in Thailand and the lack of appropriate responses from other humanitarian organisations, founded Handicap International, which has since become Humanity & Inclusion (HI). ​​​​​​​

This was the beginning of 40 years of tireless work in support of people with disabilities and vulnerable populations.

40 years amidst the worst conflicts, natural disasters and injustices.

By listening to and working with the communities concerned, HI has been able to provide immediate, effective and practical support to help people with disabilities and vulnerable populations become more resilient, enjoy better health and live in peace.

While our campaigns against violence and weapons of war and our advocacy for peace have forged our identity, HI has also developed 13 other areas of action, including inclusive education, physical rehabilitation, mental health and economic inclusion, with a view to providing a global response to needs and fostering equal opportunities.

In 2022, HI is working in 60 countries.

Our 5,000 employees worldwide are reaching out on behalf of concerned local citizens who want to help support people with disabilities and vulnerable populations.

HI has also spent 40 years seeking to promote peace by ensuring that the voices of civilian victims of conflicts are heard by international institutions.

25 years ago, after the Ottawa Treaty banning anti-personnel mines had been signed in Canada by 190 countries, HI, along with the other co-founders of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for its relentless five-year campaign against this cowards' weapon.

Celebrate peace and join our movement of solidarity with those most in need!

"It is important for me to support people with disabilities, especially those affected by landmines and bombs. With Humanity & Inclusion Canada, I can take concrete action to help them and their families recover."

"For me, it is important to support Humanity & Inclusion Canada through a monthly donation in order to have a lasting impact on the health and education of the most underprivileged children, especially those with disabilities. In this way, I can support the children during their physical rehabilitation, their entry into school and I can see them grow up. From Quebec, I can act for them."
