CONTEXT :
Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.
HI, Humanity & Inclusion, is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation with no religious or political affiliations operating in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.
Since the organisation was first founded in 1982, we have set up development programmes in more than 55 countries and responded to many emergencies. Today we have a budget of around 150 million euros, with 3500 employees worldwide.

HI is currently present in Herat, Kandahar, Kunduz, Kabul and Nimroz. In Kandahar since 1995, HI is supporting a Physical Rehabilitation Center (PRC) in Mirwais Regional Hospital in Kandahar. In 2019, PRC supported more than 8000 people with physical impairments with the provision of prosthesis and orthotics, physiotherapy services and mobility aids / assistive devices. In Kunduz, HI responded to the emergency following the Taliban assault on the city and the hospital supported by MSF being bombed late 2015. HI is providing emergency rehabilitation in support to the regional hospital as well as psychosocial support to victims and their caregivers. In the last 4 years, this Emergency Mobile Team project was extended in all provinces of intervention
Nationally, HI is a strong actor Physiotherapy, MHPSS, P&O and Disability and Inclusion technical support and awareness. HI under the consortium TIQRA project (Towards Improved Access to Quality Physical Rehabilitation in Afghanistan) has supported the MoPH in enhancing quality of professional physiotherapists (PT) with designing curricula meeting standards recognized internationally, and a similar project to support training of prosthetics and orthotics (P&O) technicians. PT training as well as P&O technicians training aim to produce 200 PTs and P&O and 30 P&O Category II. In 2019, the TIQRA project was extended for a second phase up to 2022.
Afghanistan political and contextual environment have changed dramatically after the evens in August 2021. Severe economic crisis, drought and restrictions on international funding will change the social and political dynamics, as well as the onset of the winter and the impacts of the drought. The context will remain highly unpredictable for the foreseeable future.
