Solidarités in Figures


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 over one hundred French expatriate volunteers and around one thousand 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.
