Handicap International UK

Mission Statement

Handicap International is the largest international organisation specialised in disability and development. We work alongside disabled people and a range of organisations in the context of both emergencies and long-term sustainability.

Our activities include rehabilitation, support for inclusion in all aspects of daily life, and the elimination of preventable causes of disability, such as landmines and cluster munitions.

Created in 1982, Handicap International now works in around 60 countries affected by poverty and conflict. Our organisation is co-winner of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for its work on the Mine Ban Treaty. Our vision is of a world where all 650 million disabled people can fully access and exercise their human rights.
