HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM
Federation Handicap International (HI) Rwanda which operates under the name Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial International Organization that was founded in 1982 and operates in Rwanda since 1994. It envisages a Rwanda society that is inclusive, supportive and respectful of the rights of vulnerable people especially persons with disabilities. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable people, it commits itself to meet their essential needs, improving their living condition and promoting the respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights. It does so by supporting the policies and initiatives of public authorities and civil society organizations to advance the rights of vulnerable people, particularly persons with disabilities across Rwanda.
In partnership with UNHCR and the Ministry in charge of emergency management (MINEMA) formerly known as the Ministry of Disaster Management and Refugee affairs (MIDIMAR), HI launched its operations in Refugee camps of Rwanda and urban areas since 2015, responding to the specific needs of persons with disabilities, elderly people and persons with mental health and psychosocial issues in urban areas, Congolese and Burundian Refugee camps of Rwanda. In 2019, similar interventions were initiated in Gashora ETM camp under the Emergency transit mechanism (ETM) to address the psychosocial needs of evacuees from Libya. With support from UNHCR and the Germany Federal Foreign office (GFFO), HI is currently implementing 2 projects aimed at eliminating all form of discrimination, inequalities and the existing barriers that hinder persons with disabilities from exercising their rights and reaching their full potentials.
