Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. The organisation works alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Since its creation in 1982, HI has run development programmes in more than 60 countries and responded to numerous emergencies. Today, we have a budget of approximately 255 million euros, with 4794 employees worldwide.

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.

JOB CONTEXT:

Since 2014, Humanity & Inclusion has been a vital contributor to Yemen's humanitarian response, targeting its crisis with strategic initiatives. Our core mission is to assist conflict victims, especially those injured or disabled, and deploy urgent interventions in frontline locations.

Our active engagement spans hospitals and rehab centers in Sana’a, Hajjah, Aden, Lahj, and Taizz governorates. We supply physical rehabilitation, mobility aids, and psychosocial support to those affected. Moreover, we educate and train local healthcare workers to enhance their rehabilitation and war injury treatment skills.

We advocate for inclusivity in humanitarian aid, backing other organizations in Yemen to cater to disabled individuals, the socially isolated, women, the elderly, and children.

Given the widespread threat of explosive devices and mines, Humanity & Inclusion leads risk education initiatives, teaching people to identify, avoid, and report these hazards and also are the primary organisation for conducting Victim Assistance .
