Why your donation matters

Please help make a difference to the lives of thousands of disabled people in over 60 countries worldwide.

We provide artificial limbs and walking aids to those whose lives have been torn apart by a landmine or a cluster bomb, by a natural disaster or an illness. We also save lives by clearing unexploded bombs and educating communities about the danger.

Ordinary people are the main victims of these terrible weapons that often kill and maim children. For them, life will never be the same again. But with your support, Handicap International can help now. £30 could go towards providing an artificial limb to a victim.

For an amputee, a chance to transform their life for the better is usually an unattainable dream. Your support can make that dream come true.

Case study: donations in action

Reynane, 10, was studying at home when a massive earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010.

Her leg was crushed and, despite the doctors’ best efforts, an infection forced them to amputate her left leg. Her father was shocked: “The burden of life was about to get heavier,” he recalled.

After spending three months in hospital, Reynane came to the Handicap International rehabilitation centre where she was fitted with an artificial leg. She quickly learned to walk again and she even helped teaching younger patients to walk correctly.

Now back at home, Reynane has to climb 80 steps from the main road. This is quite a challenge when you're wearing a prosthesis, but she does it with confidence and speed.

Thanks to supporters like you, Reynane is now able to go to school with all the other children and has made many new friends, proving that her artificial leg is not an obstacle to her life, either physically or socially.
