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 โ 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
Since the beginning of the \"full-scale invasion\" of Ukraine by Russian Forces, SI has been responding to the needs of the population in the territories under the control of the Government of Ukraine. While the programming was rightly very much geared towards immediate emergency response in 2022 and 2023, 2024 was a transitional year towards a more emergency and recovery-balanced programming.
In 2025 SI programmatic strategy revolves around 2 axis, axis 1 is about responding to both acute and chronic emergencies and axis 2 is about contributing to creating conducive conditions for safe and dignified stay and return in stabilized areas (in support to local authorities for them to be able to deliver a better WASH public service). SI in Ukraine works in the sectors of WASH and SHELTER and promote an integrated approach whenever feasible and relevant. SI is also committed to transferring a portion of its activities to local partners. In 2025 the set-up is comprised of (roughly) 105 staff, including 20 expatriates. The activities are implemented in 6 oblasts in the south and the east of Ukraine, and coordinated through 3 field bases in Dnipro, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv. The coordination office is located in Kyiv. Donors in 2025 are BHA, CDCS, AFD, ECHO and SDC.
