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

In October 2006, SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL conducted an assessment in Malakal and its surroundings, where the population had doubled since 2004. Humanitarian priorities were to help the returnees getting back to both rural and urban areas, to improve access to basic services (water, sanitation, food, education, etc.) for the most vulnerable populations and to avoid further degradation of the situation in an area already subject to chronicle food crisis and poverty. SI strategy in the Upper Nile State was to respond to the WASH needs of both urban population in Malakal and rural communities across the State.

From March 2010, SI started to work in WASH in Unity State (Mayom, Abiemnom, and Rubkona Counties). SI activities were coordinated from an office in Bentiu (State capital). Following the attack on Mankien town on April 21st, 2011, and the looting of an SI compound, SI did not maintain its operational office in the area. SI has also worked in three refugee camps in Upper Nile State and Unity State, providing WASH services, from 2012 until June 2014 when the activities in Yusuf Batil were handed over to the NGO Medair.
