MISSION
Solidarités International is a French humanitarian organization which provides aid and assistance to victims of war or natural disaster. For over 30 years the association has focused on meeting three vital needs - water, food and shelter - by carrying out emergency programmes followed by longer-term reconstruction projects. Whilst fully respecting the assisted populations’ customs and culture, Solidarités International’s programmes are implemented through the joint expertise of around 150 expatriates and 1500 local managerial staff and employees. Solidarités International is currently present in Africa (Burundi, Central African Republic, Southern Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Liberia, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, Zimbabwe), in Asia (Afghanistan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar) and in Haiti.
SOLIDARITES IN MYANMAR
Solidarités International has been in Myanmar since Cyclone Nargis struck in 2008. Our teams have since implemented over 15 projects in the Delta, focusing first on emergency relief and then on livelihoods and development assistance. In 2011, Solidarités International plans to leave the Delta area for the first time and work in the Dry Zone, Rakhine (in response to Cyclone Giri of October 2010, which affected 260,000 people), and in Chin State. Solidarités International may stay in the Delta with a small fisheries project.
