What humanity & inclusion uk does

Humanity & Inclusion UK (operating name of Handicap International UK, UK registered charity No. 1082565 and UK company No. 4010383) is one of eight national associations constituting the international Humanity & Inclusion federation, headquartered in Lyon, France. The UK entity, founded in 1999, supports disabled and vulnerable people affected by poverty, exclusion, conflict and disaster through six core service pillars: emergency rehabilitation, physical rehabilitation, explosive weapons clearance, health and prevention, inclusion programs, and disability rights advocacy. In 2025 the global network ran 437 projects across 58 countries, employing 4,314 staff (3,469 local programme staff) and directly supporting 2.9 million people, with the additional indirect reach of 12.04 million beneficiaries such as family members and carers.

The federation's core technology and service platform combines WHO-certified emergency rehabilitation teams, proprietary mine-action and risk-education methodologies, and Atlas Logistique, a free shared logistics service providing storage and transport to humanitarian actors. Specialist capabilities include 8,035 risk-education sessions and 728 prosthetics delivered in 2025, alongside over 9,500 rehabilitation sessions in Sudan alone. The UK entity is one of only two WHO-certified Specialised Emergency Rehabilitation Teams globally and is co-winner of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize for the international campaign to ban and clear anti-personnel landmines.

Revenue is not commercial; the entity is funded entirely through donations, grants and partnerships. Revenue streams include individual donations (one-time and monthly recurring), legacy gifts, institutional grants from bilateral and multilateral donors (USAID, DG ECHO, NDICI, SDC, Global Affairs Canada, GFFO, BUZA, French Foreign Affairs Crisis Centre, Luxembourg MFA), corporate partnerships, and trusts and foundations. Distribution is executed through direct field operations in 58 countries, supported by online donation infrastructure (Stripe, PayPal, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Secure Trading), event-driven fundraising (Race to the King, challenge events, quizzes), and a federation-wide network of national associations. The UK entity exists primarily as a fundraising and governance hub within this global delivery footprint.

Direct peers

• CBM: CBM is an international disability-focused development organisation working on rehabilitation, inclusive health, education and livelihood opportunities. It is directly comparable to HI's disability inclusion, rehabilitation and assistive-service orientation.
• Sightsavers: Sightsavers is a global disability and eye-health organisation focused on prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and inclusion. Its disability-services model and vulnerable-population focus make it a relevant peer for HI.
• The HALO Trust: The HALO Trust is a humanitarian mine-action organisation providing explosive-ordnance clearance, risk education and survivor support. It is directly comparable to HI's explosive-weapons clearance, mine-risk education and conflict-response activities.

Broad incumbents

• International Rescue Committee: The International Rescue Committee provides emergency relief, health, protection and economic-support services to people affected by conflict and disaster. It is relevant to HI's crisis-response work with vulnerable populations and its field-delivery model.

• International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies: The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies is a global humanitarian network providing disaster response, health, shelter and recovery support. It is comparable to HI's large distributed field network and emergency-response mission, while covering a much wider range of services.
