Handicap International

Handicap International is an international organisation specialised in the field of disability. Non-governmental, non-religious, non-political and non-profit making, it works alongside people with disabilities, whatever the context, offering them assistance and supporting them in their efforts to become self-reliant.
Since its creation, the organisation has set up programmes in approximately 60 countries and intervened in many emergency situations. It has a network of either national associations (Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, United Kingdom and USA) which provide human and financial resources, manage projects and raise awareness of Handicap International’s actions and campaigns.

Handicap International’s sports and leisure projects aim to strengthen people with both physical and intellectual disabilities. Sports and leisure projects focus on support to local Disabled People Organisations, training of professionals, supporting clubs and associations, improving material conditions and accessibility.
