Disability Inclusion
Making sure no one is left behind because of a disability.
- Our Approach
Access and Dignity for Every Person
People with disabilities are among the most excluded in crisis and displacement settings often facing barriers to education, healthcare, livelihoods and even basic humanitarian assistance. In emergencies, these barriers can mean the difference between safety and serious harm.
Our Disability Inclusion approach ensures that every program we run from education and health to emergency response is designed with accessibility in mind from the start, not added on afterward. This means physically accessible facilities, inclusive teaching methods, and assistance that reaches people with disabilities without requiring them to ask twice.
We also work directly with people with disabilities and their families to identify barriers specific to their community, and with local organizations that specialize in disability rights, to make sure our response is informed by lived experience, not assumptions.
