Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.

Handicap International is changing his name and becomes « Humanity & Inclusion ». HI, Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation with no religious or political affiliations operating in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Since the organisation was first founded in 1982, we have set up development programmes in more than 55 countries and responded to many emergencies. Today we have a budget of around 150 million euros, with 3500 employees worldwide.

Description :

HI has set up a two-country program covering Ukraine and Moldova. Aligning itself with the priorities of the Ukraine Flash Appeal and Regional Refugee Response Plan, HI pillars of interventions are the following:

• Health: HI aims to improve access to quality physical rehabilitation and mental health and psychosocial services (MHPSS) for conflict-affected vulnerable population. To this extent, HI will deliver health service provision to persons with injuries or disabilities while also strengthening the capacity of existing health structures.
• Protection: Given the scale of humanitarian and protection needs, HI will intervene at various levels including in communal settings and in the community to ensure that vulnerable conflict-affected populations have access to multi-sectoral services tailored to their needs. This will be based on an analysis of existing services, and on an Identification/Assessment/Referral mechanism, which will allow both access to most vulnerable and excluded populations and referrals to internal and external services tailored to address their needs. In addition, HI aims to foster a disability-inclusive humanitarian response through evidence-based advocacy and capacity building of humanitarian actors and coordination mechanisms. This falls under HI’s Inclusive Humanitarian Action mandate.
• Armed Violence Reduction: Recent and ongoing attacks dangerously exacerbated Explosive Ordnance (EO) contamination in Ukraine. In light of this, HI will conduct a multi-pronged approach to EO risk education and Conflict Preparedness and Protection (CPP), adaptable to the evolution of the conflict and humanitarian.
• Basic needs: to respond to the most acute needs for displaced households hosted by the local population or living in collective settings, HI will provide hygiene and non-food item kits, with an approach various modalities of intervention including in-kind and/or cash-based transfers. HI will also deliver multi-purpose cash assistance to vulnerable conflict-affected populations, to enable them to meet their basic needs.
• Humanitarian-to-humanitarian logistics (ATLAS Logistique): To facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance as close as possible to the most affected populations, HI will propose mutualized storage and transportation services to other humanitarian actors – with a specific focus on “last-mile transportation”.
