Enabling people with disabilities

The ICRC supports people with disabilities worldwide. As well as providing physical rehabilitation services, we help people with disabilities play a full part in society. This includes facilitating the setting up of small businesses, providing vocational training and promoting sport.

The ICRC’s Mission Statement:

We help people around the world affected by armed conflict and other violence, doing everything we can to protect their lives and dignity and to relieve their suffering, often with our Red Cross and Red Crescent partners.

We also seek to prevent hardship by promoting and strengthening humanitarian law and championing universal humanitarian principles. People know they can count on us to carry out a range of life-saving activities in conflict zones and to work closely with the communities there to understand and meet their needs. Our experience and expertise enable us to respond quickly and effectively, without taking sides.
