About this organization

Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster.

About
EMERGENCY: HI RESPONDS TO CONFLICTS, NATURAL DISASTERS, AND FOOD CRISES, WITH A FOCUS ON PROVIDING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TO THE MOST VULNERABLE VICTIMS. IN PARTICULAR, WE PROVIDE SERVICES TO PEOPLE WITH INJURIES AND DISABILITIES, OLDER PEOPLE, AND ISOLATED WOMEN AND CHILDREN. BY OFFERING A MULTIDISCIPLINARY HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE TO REFUGEES, DISPLACED PEOPLE, AND THE MOST AFFECTED POPULATIONS, HI ENSURES THAT NO ONE FACES EXCLUSION DURING AN EMERGENCY. IN 2018, ABOUT 46% OF FUNDS RAISED IN THE U.S. SUPPORTED EMERGENCY RELIEF EFFORTS, IN PARTICULAR ONGOING FOOD INSECURITY EMERGENCIES IN MALI AND THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO. IN IRAQ'S BELEAGUERED CITY OF MOSUL, THE HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY REMAINED A GRAVE CONCERN. HI TEAMS SUPPORTED VICTIMS OF TRAUMA AND DISPLACED POPULATIONS, AND ENSURED THAT THEY KNEW HOW TO STAY SAFE AMID SO MUCH RESIDUAL, EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE. DURING THE SECOND HALF OF 2018, OUR TEAMS RESPONDED TO TWO RAPID-ONSET EMERGENCIES. FIRST, A DEVASTATING TYPHOON, TYPHOON MANGKHUT, STRUCK THE NORTHERN PHILIPPINES ON SEPT. 14, CAUSING LANDSLIDES AND RESULTING IN MORE THAN 70 DEATHS, 130 INJURIES, AND AFFECTING NEARLY ONE MILLION PEOPLE. FARMS TOOK THE BIGGEST HIT, WITH WINDS AND RAIN DESTROYING 90% OF RICE AND MAIZE PLANTATIONS, JUST A MONTH BEFORE HARVEST. FOR PEOPLE IN RURAL AREAS WHO LIVE MAINLY OFF THE LAND, IT WAS A HUGE DISASTER. HI DISTRIBUTED COMMUNITY CLEANUP KITS, SO THAT ROADS, PUBLIC SPACES, AND INFRASTRUCTURE COULD BE RESTORED. THEN, JUST WEEKS LATER, A 7.5-MAGNITUDE EARTHQUAKE AND RELATED 20-FOOT TSUNAMI HIT THE INDONESIAN ISLAND REGION OF SULAWESI. OFFICIALS PUT THE DEATH TOLL AT MORE THAN 2,045, COUNTING 10,000 INJURIES. THE DISASTER DAMAGED 68% OF THE REGION'S HOSPITALS. THANKS TO OUR DONORS, HI EXPERTS COULD SUPPORT LOCAL ACTORS TO IMPROVE THEIR EMERGENCY REHABILITATION SKILLS, AND TO ULTIMATELY REACH MORE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS EMERGENCY. EMERGENCY FUNDS ALSO FUELED CRITICAL RELIEF AND CARE TO PEOPLE IN COUNTRIES SUCH AS BANGLADESH, CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, JORDAN, KENYA, AND LIBYA.
