Handicap International is an international non-governmental organisation which works to improve the conditions and quality of life of disabled people in the developing world and in post-conflict zones.

We work with local partners to deliver programmes in over 55 countries in the south and have sections in Germany, Luxembourg, Belgium, Canada, Switzerland and France. Our work includes emergency relief in times of disasters and conflict as well as longer term development support. In 1997, Handicap International was a co-winner of the Nobel Peace prize for our work to ban landmines.
the UK, we are a partner in Source, an electronic resource that provides access to community-based and unpublished resources on health and disability issues. We are also active in raising awareness in the UK about the effects of cluster bombs on civilian populations.
