Who are we?
SOLIDARITES is a humanitarian organisation which provides
aid and assistance to victims of war or natural disaster. For over 25
years the association has concentrated its action on meeting three vital
needs - water, food and shelter - by carrying
out emergency programmes followed by reconstruction projects.
Whilst fully respecting the assisted populations' customs and culture,
SOLIDARITES' programmes are implemented through the joint expertise of
around one hundred and fifty French expatriate volunteers and one thousand
five hundred local managerial staff and employees.
According to its statutes as a charitable organisation under the 1901
law, SOLIDARITES holds an Annual General Meeting once a year and has a
Board of Directors and a Steering Committee. The charity is run by its
Founder and Managing Director, Alain Boinet.
Our missions throughout the world:
SOLIDARITES is currently present in 15
countries, and has previously provided humanitarian aid in Iraq for 1
year, in Albania, Serbia and Kosovo for 3 years, in Macedonia for 5 years,
in Bosnia for 8 years, in Romania for 11 years, in Rwanda for 6 years,
in Angola for 3 years, and in Pakistan and Lebanon for 1 year.
