Handicap International is an independent international aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we take action and raise awareness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Handicap International teams work to prevent disability by clearing landmines, cluster munitions and other unexploded ordnance, and by training local deminers to ensure that countries affected by those weapons can become self-sufficient in clearance activities. Handicap International also carries out risk education to teach communities about the dangers of these weapons of war.
At international level, Handicap International continues to play a key role in the fight to ban landmines and cluster munitions working together with organisations such as Ban Advocates and Cluster Munition Coalition, which Handicap International co-founded in 2003.
