Federation Handicap International (HI) Rwanda which operates under the name Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial International Organization that was founded in 1982 and operates in Rwanda since 1994.

Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable people, it commits itself to meet their essential needs, improving their living condition and promoting the respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights.
