Humanity & Inclusion is an independent international aid organization that works in areas affected by poverty, exclusion, conflict, and disaster. We collaborate with people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. Our focus is on meeting their essential needs and improving their living conditions while promoting their dignity and rights. We are a not-for-profit organization with no religious or political ties. We operate as a federation that includes several associations contributing human and financial resources, managing projects, and carrying out our social mission.
\nThrough the ECHO Fund, Humanity and Inclusion (HI) is currently running EORE and NTS activities under the Humanitarian Mine Action (HMA) program. This effort aims to reduce the risk of injuries and fatalities from explosive ordnance (EO) in heavily contaminated areas.
