About us

SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association which, since more than 40 years, has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflicts and natural disasters by meeting their basic needs for food, water and shelter. Particularly committed to the fight against diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death in the world, SI's interventions provide expertise in the field of access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, but also in the essential area of food security and livelihoods. Present in 26 countries, the SI teams – 3200 people in total, made up of expatriates, national staff, permanent staff at HQ, and a few volunteers - intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultural norms.

About the mission

Present and operational in Venezuela since the end of 2019, Solidarites International initially started working in Caracas, but later launched water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) activities in the city of Barquisimeto, Lara state. We expanded then interventions to the states of Falcón and Sucre. In 2021, Food Security and Livelihoods activities started also in Barquisimeto. Since then, operations grew steadily in the states of Sucre, Bolivar, Táchira y Apure. Although projects today are focused on WaSH, we are progressively developing protection and health components and planning to extend in new intervention areas.

The present position is to support the mission with emergency activities, following the heavy earthquake of the 24th of June.
