Activities or mission (Part I)

SEE PART III, LINE I.

  • EMERGENCY:HUMANITY & INCLUSION (HI) RESPONDS TO CONFLICTS, NATURAL DISASTERS, AND FOOD CRISES, PROVIDING IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE ENDURING SOME OF OUR PLANET'S MOST CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES. IN PARTICULAR, WE PROVIDE SERVICES TO PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, PEOPLE WITH NEW INJURIES, AGING ADULTS, 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 2023, 40% OF FUNDS RAISED IN THE U.S. FUNDED EMERGENCY ACTIVITIES.THOSE ACTIONS INCLUDED HUMANITY & INCLUSION RESPONSE TO EARTHQUAKES IN SYRIA, AFGHANISTAN AND MOROCCO. HI SPECIALISTS, WORKING WITH LOCAL PARTNERS, PROVIDED EMERGENCY PSYCHOSOCIAL CARE, REHABILITATION, AND BASIC NEEDS KITS. IN SYRIA, HI TEAMS ALSO WORKED TO TEACH CIVILIANS HOW TO STAY AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE AMID RESIDUAL EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE THAT MAY HAVE SHIFTED DURING THE FEBRUARY EARTHQUAKES. HI'S EMERGENCY RESPONSE IN SYRIA WAS SUPPORTED IN PART BY USAID.IN OCTOBER, HUMANITY & INCLUSION ADAPTED ITS PROGRAMMING IN THE OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES TO SUPPORT CIVILIANS DISPLACED BY CONFLICT. TEAMS FACILITATED NEARLY 4,000 REHABILITATION SESSIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR NEW INJURIES, DISTRIBUTED MOBILITY AIDS SUCH AS WHEELCHAIRS AND WALKERS. TEAMS ALSO ORGANIZED RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AT EMERGENCY SHELTERS, DISTRIBUTED HYGIENE SUPPLIES AND CONDUCTED EXPLOSIVE ORDNANCE RISK EDUCATION SESSIONS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

  • DISABILITY RIGHTS AND INCLUSION:WORKING ALONGSIDE PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES, HUMANITY & INCLUSION (HI) ADVOCATES FOR THEIR ACCESS TO ALL ASPECTS OF SOCIAL LIFE, INCLUDING EDUCATION, DECENT, WAGED EMPLOYMENT, COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES AND MORE. CRITICAL WORK TO STRENGTHEN THE CAPACITY OF ORGANIZATIONS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES, AND TO ORGANIZE AROUND EFFECTIVE POLICIES TO SEE THEIR RIGHTS UPHELD. ACCOUNTING FOR 19% OF FUNDS RAISED IN THE U.S. IN 2023, THIS WORK HAPPENS AT THE VILLAGE LEVEL ALL THE WAY UP TO GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION AND INTERNATIONAL ADVOCACY. PROJECTS IN PLACES LIKE MADAGASCAR AND NEPAL HELPED CHILDREN THRIVE AT ACCESSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE SCHOOLS. IN NIGER, 15 HI-TRAINED "TRAVELING" TEACHERS WORKED WITH MORE THAN 1,500 STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES, GOING FROM TO SCHOOL TO SCHOOL TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL, SPECIALIZED LEARNING SUPPORT.IN COUNTRIES LIKE BENIN AND SENEGAL, HI'S ECONOMIC INCLUSION ACTIVITIES BROUGHT TOGETHER PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES TO BOND AND FORM FRIENDSHIPS DURING VOCATIONAL TRAININGS.

    Expenses $8,021,647 · Grants $7,959,719 · Revenue $778,424

  • REHABILITATION:PHYSICAL AND FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION HAS BEEN A COMPONENT OF HUMANITY & INCLUSION'S (HI) WORK SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1982. PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, ALONG WITH ASSISTIVE DEVICES, HELP TO FOSTER AUTONOMY FOR PEOPLE WITH INJURIES, CHRONIC DISEASES, OR DISABILITIES. AS A PIONEER IN HUMANITARIAN REHABILITATION, ESPECIALLY AFTER NATURAL DISASTER AND CONFLICT, HI HAS FIRMLY EMBEDDED PHYSICAL AND FUNCTIONAL REHABILITATION COMPONENTS INTO MANY OF OUR PROJECTS. IN 2023, 17% OF FUNDS RAISED IN THE U.S. SUPPORTED REHABILITATION ACTIVITIES.IN PLACES LIKE BANGLADESH AND CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC, CIVILIANS INJURED BY ARMED VIOLENCE RECEIVED TAILORED REHABILITATION SERVICES, INCLUDING FITTINGS FOR PROSTHETICS AND OTHER MOBILITY AIDS. IN UGANDA, HI'S TEAMS SERVING REFUGEES AND HOST COMMUNITIES, UTILIZED 3D-PRINTING TO CREATE STATE-OF-THE-ART, CUSTOM BRACES AND PROSTHETICS FOR INDIVIDUALS. THIS INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY HELPS PATIENTS UNABLE TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH TO PROSTHETICS WORKSHOPS AND REHABILITATION CLINICS TO BE FITTED WITH DEVICES THROUGH HOME VISITS BY HI'S SPECIALISTS. IN 2023, HI ADVOCATED FOR A LANDMARK RESOLUTION ON REHABILITATION, WHICH WAS ADOPTED AT THE WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY IN MAY. MORE THAN 2 BILLION PEOPLE CURRENTLY HAVE HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT COULD BENEFIT FROM REHABILITATION, BUT MORE THAN 50% OF THEM HAVE NO ACCESS TO THE SERVICES THEY NEED. BARRIERS TO ACCESS ARE EVEN GREATER FOR CERTAIN POPULATION GROUPS, ESPECIALLY PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. HI LOBBIED FOR A RESOLUTION THAT WOULD SERVE AS A MAJOR POLICY FRAMEWORK ESTABLISHING POLITICAL COMMITMENT TO THE STRENGTHENING OF REHABILITATION SERVICES WORLDWIDE, INTEGRATING THIS VITAL SERVICE INTO EXISTING HEALTH SYSTEMS.

  • ARMED VIOLENCE REDUCTION: A COMPREHENSIVE HUMANITARIAN MINE ACTION STRATEGY IS KEY TO ACHIEVING NOT JUST LANDS FREE OF WEAPONS, BUT ALSO TO ENSURING THAT CIVILIANS LIVING IN DANGEROUS ZONES ARE WELL INFORMED ABOUT THE RISKS OF UNEXPLODED ORDNANCE IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND THE WAYS TO STAY SAFE. IN 2023, 16% OF FUNDS RAISED IN THE U.S. SUPPORTED ACTIVITIES TO REDUCE ARMED VIOLENCE, AND SUPPORT VICTIMS OF EXPLOSIVE REMNANTS OF WAR IN PLACES SUCH AS COLOMBIA, CAMBODIA, LAOS AND SENEGAL.AFTER LIVING IN FEAR FOR 20 YEARS, THE COLOMBIAN VILLAGE OF SANTANDER DE QUILICHAO WAS DECLARED FREE OF LANDMINES IN APRIL 2023! HI'S EXPERTS SPENT FOUR YEARS ASSESSING AND CLEARING MORE THAN 125 ACRES OF LAND. AGRICULTURE, THE MAINSTAY OF THE LOCAL ECONOMY, HAS TAKEN OFF AGAIN WITH THE CULTIVATION OF COFFEE, SUGAR CANE, PINEAPPLE, CASSAVA AND BANANA CROPS. HI ALSO DELIVERED AND HELPED PLANT 150 TREES IN SANTANDER DE QUILICHAO AND CAJIBO TO RESTORE THE BIODIVERSITY IMPACTED BY WEAPONS CONTAMINATION AND CLEARANCE.MEANWHILE, IN CAMBODIA, DEMINING TEAMS CONTINUED WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CAMBODIAN SELF-HELP DEMINING ORGANIZATION (CSHD) TO CLEAR MINEFIELDS AND RESTORE THE LAND CONDITIONS REQUIRED FOR SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT, AS WELL AS THE SAFETY OF COMMUNITIES. THE GOAL IS FOR CSHD TO TAKE OVER RESIDUAL CONTAMINATION ACTIONS AFTER 2025, WHEN CAMBODIA AIMS TO BE LANDMINE-FREE. THESE TWO PROJECTS ARE FUNDED IN LARGE PART BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THROUGH U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE OFFICE OF WEAPONS REMOVAL AND ABATEMENT GRANTS.

    Expenses $6,750,928 · Grants $6,698,810

  • HEALTH AND PREVENTION: - WORLDWIDE, MORE PEOPLE ARE BEING EXPOSED TO DISEASE, ROAD ACCIDENTS, OR INJURIES THAT CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DISABILITY. IN 2023, 8% OF FUNDS RAISED SUPPORTED A MIX OF PREVENTION AND HEALTH PROJECTS. HI'S TEAMS IN HAITI RESPONDED TO A CHOLERA EPIDEMIC. WITH USAID'S SUPPORT, THEY DECONTAMINATED MORE THAN 1,400 HOUSES, INSTALLED THREE COMMUNITY CHLORINATION POINTS TO ENSURE ACCESS TO SAFE DRINKING WATER, AND INSTALLED HAND-WASHING STATIONS TO IMPROVE HYGIENE CONDITIONS AND PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE DISEASE. IN 26 COUNTRIES, HI STAFF WORKED TO HELP MORE WOMEN AND GIRLS WITH DISABILITIES RECEIVE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO APPROPRIATE CARE THROUGH THE WOMEN INTEGRATED SEXUAL HEALTH (WISH) PROJECT. WOMEN AND GIRLS WITH DISABILITIES DISPROPORTIONATELY EXPERIENCE GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL ABUSE. ON TOP OF THAT, MANY HEALTH PROFESSIONALS BELIEVE WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES ARE NOT SEXUALLY ACTIVE AND THEREFORE DO NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH ACCESS TO SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CARE, INCLUDING FAMILY PLANNING. HI WORKS WITH LOCAL HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS AS WELL AS COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF INCLUSIVE HEALTH SERVICES.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
