SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association that, for more than 40 years, has been providing relief to populations affected by armed conflicts and natural disasters by meeting their vital needs: food, water, and shelter. Particularly committed to the fight against diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death in the world, SI implements through its interventions its expertise in the fields of access to drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion, but also in the essential field of food security and livelihoods. Present in 26 countries, SI’s teams – 3,200 people in total, made up of expatriates, national employees, permanent staff at headquarters, and a few volunteers – intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultures.
The mission
Since March 2020, SI has been working in France to address the challenges of water, hygiene, and sanitation insecurity in five French territories. In partnership with metropolitan water and sanitation operators and their foundations, its projects target populations living in degraded sites such as shantytowns or squats, particularly those with limited access to basic services, such as drinking water, sanitation, and access to essential hygiene products. SI’s strategy consists of supporting local stakeholders in their search for concrete solutions, by proposing to improve the sanitary conditions of the sites, in particular through the installation of drinking water supplies, sanitation infrastructure, and the development of pilot projects adapted to the context of each intervention area.
