About
For more than 40 years, Humanity & Inclusion has been working based on a simple belief: no one should be left behind.
The organization was founded on the realization that people with disabilities are among the most marginalized in the world. Too often excluded from aid programs, they face even greater barriers to accessing healthcare, education, employment, and essential services. When a natural disaster, armed conflict, or humanitarian crisis strikes, this exclusion becomes even more pronounced.
Since its inception, Humanity & Inclusion has made it its mission to reach and serve these forgotten populations and to ensure that aid reaches even the “last kilometer.” This expertise in inclusion is at the heart of our identity. It guides our work with people with disabilities, as well as with all vulnerable populations facing poverty, conflict, or disasters.
Today, our teams operate in 58 countries to promote access to health care, rehabilitation, education, livelihoods, and protection. We also respond to emergencies and work to reduce the impact of armed violence on civilian populations.
This unique approach has earned Humanity & Inclusion international recognition, notably the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for its commitment to the international campaign to ban antipersonnel landmines.
By choosing to make a bequest to Humanity & Inclusion, you are helping to build a world where everyone counts—today and for generations to come.

Our Impact
Humanity & Inclusion works with millions of the world’s most vulnerable people to help them live with dignity, regain their independence, and build a better future.
Our work focuses on three main areas of intervention:
- Inclusive Development
We promote access to healthcare, rehabilitation, education, and livelihoods for people with disabilities and vulnerable populations. We work to ensure that every person can fully participate in the life of their community.
- Humanitarian Emergency
During conflicts, natural disasters, or forced displacement, our teams respond rapidly to meet the essential needs of affected populations: physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support, and humanitarian aid.
- Reducing Armed Violence
We work to protect civilians from the consequences of armed conflict. We support survivors of explosive ordnance and landmines, carry out demining operations, and advocate for better protection of civilian populations.
Key Figures (2025) :
- 1,214,043 people assisted in humanitarian emergencies
- 806,628 people supported through our health initiatives
- 735,909 people reached by our social and inclusion programs
- 609,285 people protected through our armed violence reduction initiatives
- 400,689 people received rehabilitation services
Behind each of these figures are children returning to school, conflict survivors learning to walk again, displaced families rebuilding their futures, and communities regaining hope.

How your gift will be used
By choosing to make a bequest to Humanity & Inclusion Canada, you are taking a step that brings hope and humanity to people with disabilities and the most vulnerable populations around the world.
Your generosity will provide essential support to people with disabilities, conflict survivors, and families affected by disasters, poverty, and exclusion. Thanks to you, a child will be able to access inclusive education, an injured person will regain their mobility, a displaced family will receive emergency aid, or a community will rebuild its future with dignity.
When crises strike, Humanity & Inclusion Canada’s teams are there to respond to urgent needs, support communities over the long term, and defend the rights of those who are too often forgotten.
While we cannot prevent conflicts, disasters, or injustices, we can take concrete action to reduce their human impact, and this is possible thanks to committed individuals like you.
Through your bequest, you leave behind much more than a donation: you pass on a legacy of solidarity, inclusion, and hope that will continue to transform lives for generations to come.
