Where we work
Sri Lanka
Sports for All
Our Sports for All program in Vavuniya, Sri Lanka ensures that people with disabilities are included in sporting activities.
Since 2004, two major events have increased the vulnerability of people with disabilties in Sri Lanka. In December 2004, a tsunami ravaged part of the country's coastline, killing 30,000 people and displacing 800,000. The affected areas will suffer the effects of this disaster for years to come.
In August 2006, armed conflict broke out again in the north and east of the country, claiming 4,000 victims. While providing an immediate and adapted response to these events, Handicap International also supports projects to ensure better long-term care for disabled people.
Handicap International's overall objective is to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities and/or injured people and their families, whatever the context, by supporting projects focusing on the physical rehabilitation and social inclusion of people with disabilities and their active participation in the country's social life.
