Founded in 1982 and co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997, Handicap International (HI) is an independent, non-governmental, non-denominational, non-political and non-profit-making international solidarity organization specializing in the field of disability. It operates in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and speaks out to meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

As of January 24, 2018, the Handicap International Federation is implementing its programs under the usage name “Humanité & Inclusion/Humanity & Inclusion” (HI). However, the legal name remains Handicap International Federation.

HI has been present in Rwanda since 1994. HI collaborates with local operational partners and public partners including ministries and other public institutions in the implementation of projects.

Since August 1, 2020, HI Rwanda has been part of a regional program in East Africa called “East African Region (HI-EAR)”. This comprises three countries: Rwanda, Uganda and Kenya, with its coordination office in Uganda. HI has undertaken these management changes with the aim of improving coverage of the needs of vulnerable people, including the disabled. In particular, this restructuring means pooling resources at regional level. All EAR members work in 3 main areas, as defined in the 2021-2025 operational strategy:

• Pillar 1: Social and economic inclusion: promote the social, cultural and economic civic participation of vulnerable people; ensure access to education for all; provide institutionalized expertise and support and strengthen the representation and skills of vulnerable people through their associations;
• Pillar 2: Rehabilitation, prevention and health: prevent and combat chronic and disabling diseases, detect and prevent avoidable disabilities at an early stage, and promote mental health through a community-based approach;
• Pillar 3: Protection: HI seeks to prevent the occurrence of gender-, age- and disability-based violence by striving to initiate actions that empower vulnerable people and mobilize local, national and international actors for their own commitment to promoting and respecting the rights of vulnerable people facing gender-, age- and disability-based violence. It is committed to researching and providing reliable data on the identification of vulnerable populations and the mitigation of underlying risk factors.
