Who are we?

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL is a humanitarian organisation which provides aid and assistance to victims of war or natural disaster. For 30 years the association has concentrated its action on meeting three vital needs - water, food and shelter.

We are particularly committed to fighting water-borne diseases - the most frequent cause of death worldwide. Our programs and expertise focus on providing access to drinking water and sanitation as well as the essential fields of food security and reconstruction.

Whilst fully respecting the assisted populations' customs and culture, SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL'S programmes are implemented by 152 expatriate volunteers and around 1800 local managers and staff (2009 figures).

According to its statutes as a charitable organisation under the 1901 law, SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL 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.

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL is currently present in 15 countries : Haiti, Sudan (South Sudan), DR Congo (Ituri - North Kivu - Katanga), Tchad, Central African Republic, Kenya, Somalia, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand (with Karen refugees of Burmese origin), Bangladesh.
