Handicap International staff regularly lend their expertise and insight to journalists and academics.

Handicap International currently runs more than 300 projects in 63 countries. Our 3,400-plus field staff operate on the ground in situations of poverty, conflict and disaster. We are often among the first to respond to natural disasters, and we stay behind long afterwards to ensure that disabled people get the long term support they need. We have a team of expert spokespeople available to journalists, as well as a wide range of high quality images, case studies and reports.
