Handicap International is an international non-governmental organization. It was founded in 1982 to provide help in refugee camps in Cambodia and Thailand. Headquartered in France and Belgium, since its creation, it has opened branches in six other countries : Switzerland, Luxembourg, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada and the United States. Two French doctors started the charity in 1982 with the goal of assisting those impacted by landmines in refugee camps in Cambodia. The earliest orthopedic clinics were established in camps for refugees in Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Burma. Local teams performed the work, and basic, readily available equipment was employed to deliver timely, efficient, and useful assistance. With the establishment of Handicap International Belgium in 1986, the organization started to expand internationally.
