Our mission
Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent charity working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work tirelessly alongside disabled and vulnerable people to help meet their basic needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.
Our vision
Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.
Our values
Humanity
Our work is based on the value of humanity. We include everyone without exception and champion each individual’s right to dignity. Respect, kindness, and humility guide our work.
Inclusion
We advocate inclusion and participation for everyone, upholding diversity, fairness, and individual choices. We value difference.
Commitment
We are resolute and bold in our commitment to developing tailored, pragmatic, and innovative solutions. We take action and rally those around us to fight injustice.
Integrity
We work in an independent, professional, selfless, and transparent manner.
Since HI was founded in 1982, our work has benefitted several million people in more than 60 countries.
"Our determination to help the most vulnerable groups, including in extreme situations, has proven its worth. We have earned the legitimacy we need to combat certain now-illegal weapons – landmines and cluster munitions. This same determination drives our teams today and motivates their tireless efforts around the world."
Jean-Baptiste Richardier, co-founder of Humanity & Inclusion (HI)
