Handicap International

About

In conflicts, natural disasters, and situations of extreme poverty, people with disabilities and vulnerable populations often face the greatest barriers to survival and recovery. They are frequently excluded from humanitarian aid, lack access to essential medical care, and struggle to regain their independence in the aftermath of crises. This exclusion exacerbates their suffering and prevents them from rebuilding their lives with dignity. That is why Handicap International e.V. works tirelessly to ensure no one is left behind. We provide specialized rehabilitation care, distribute mobility aids like prostheses and wheelchairs, and offer psychological support to those traumatized by violence. Beyond immediate relief, we actively clear landmines and unexploded ordnance to make communities safe again and campaign globally against the use of explosive weapons in populated areas. By empowering individuals and advocating for their rights, we strive to build a world of solidarity and inclusion where every person can live in safety and dignity.
