We work with disabled people to promote inclusion in education, sport and cultural activities, access to employment, and lobbying governments to ensure equal opportunities for people with disabilities.

People with disabilities represent 10% of the world’s population.
8 out of 10 people with disabilities live in developing countries where conflicts and poverty constantly put their quality of life in jeopardy. Although they have limited access to healthcare, education, employment, transport and leisure activities, their needs are very often not taken into account in international development projects.
Handicap International works with people with disabilities, their families, their communities and a range of organisations for a truly inclusive world where people with disabilities have equal opportunities and rights.
