Handicap International/Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an independent and impartial international solidarity organization, which intervenes in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflicts and disasters. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and speaks out to meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

At Handicap International-Humanity & Inclusion, we truly believe in the importance of inclusion and diversity within our organisation. This is why we are engaged to a disability policy to encourage the inclusion and integration of people with disabilities.
Please indicate if you require any special accommodation, even at the first interview.
On the continent, HI is present in Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Haiti, Peru and Venezuela, implementing projects at national and regional level. As part of our strategy we are also analyzing operations in Central America (Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama). The projects implemented by HI or through its partners in Latin America are organized along three axes: (i) health (mental health and psycho-social support, rehabilitation, sexual and reproductive health and rights, protection against gender-based violence), (ii) protection (protection against violence, inclusive risk management, humanitarian demining and integrated mine action, mine risk education, victim assistance, conflict transformation); (iii) inclusive education and sustainable livelihoods (inclusive education, economic and financial inclusion).
HI implemented several contracts in Honduras between 1999 and 2010, in the areas of community-based rehabilitation (CBR), inclusive education, early detection, inclusion of persons with disabilities in inclusive disaster risk management. Honduras was then part of a Central America regional program, with operations in Nicaragua and El Savador too. In 2021, after a needs analysis, HI decided to reopen its operations in this country. HI's in-country operations could focus on: Emergency response, supporting vulnerable people and protecting their fundamental rights in context of disaster, violence and poverty; Response to migration situation, including access to livelihoods, health, MHPSS and protection services; Inclusive disaster risk management, based on HI previous experience in LAC; Support to civil society support and local authorities on inclusive policies and data; and Economic Inclusion for vulnerable people with disabilities
