CommitmentWe are resolute and bold in our commitment to developing tailored, pragmatic, and innovative solutions. We take action and rally those around us to fight injustice. IntegrityWe work in an independent, professional, selfless, and transparent manner.HI is the world's most comprehensive mine action charity. The heart of this action is victim assistance—this was our beginning in 1982—but teams also prevent injuries through weapons and landmine clearance, risk education activities, stockpile management, and advocacy to ban landmines and cluster bombs. HI works in Ethiopia to improve access for vulnerable people, including people with disabilities and refugees, to humanitarian services. The organization also aims to improve people with disabilities’ inclusion in society; making sure that the children with disabilities can go to school and that adults with disabilities can work and participate in community life.
