Emergency
Emergency action to build for the future
Since its creation in 1982, Handicap International has been working on two fronts carrying out both emergency humanitarian work and development projects. Emergency intervention in the wake of a natural disaster or major conflict is an integral part of the organisation's mandate. For Handicap International these two missions go hand in hand, because in a crisis the most vulnerable are often forgotten and because the building blocks of sustainable development which includes disabled people are laid in the first few weeks following the event.
