Handicap International

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Handicap International is a non-governmental organization created in 1982 to provide help in refugee camps in Cambodia and Thailand. Based in Belgium and France, it has since opened branches in six other countries : Switzerland, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the United States. It is an independent, non-profit organization which aims to help disabled people. Handicap International is one of the 6 founding members of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines which received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997. Since February 2005, the organization has also been calling for a ban on cluster munitions and collected more than 315,000 signatures for this purpose. In February 2006, Belgium became the first country to enact such a ban as a result of Handicap International's public awareness and advocacy efforts.
