Our teams have responded to some truly harrowing events this year: typhoons striking the Philippines and a hurricane in Central America, the huge, terrifying explosion that devastated the city of Beirut, and the ongoing conflict and humanitarian crisis in Yemen, which is fast becoming a full-scale famine.

And of course, just like you, we had to deal with the impact of Covid-19, both at home and in all the 61 countries we work in.

But, despite the challenges, the support we have received from our donors has been truly humbling, enabling us to provide direct, practical help to more than 3 million disabled and vulnerable people this year.

And in addition, we won two major awards for innovation for projects on 3d printing of prosthetics and using drones to locate landmines buried underground.

So we'd like to say a HUGE thank you to each and every one of our supporters, from everyone here at Humanity & Inclusion and all the people we've been able to help.

Together, let's keep up our vital work in 2021!
