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 some twenty countries, the SI teams – 2500 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

SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL (SI) has been operating in South Sudan since 2006, conducting activities in emergency and post emergency context.

– Food insecurity is one of the highest in the world due to recurring shocks (consecutive years of widespread flooding, conflict-based displacement), and an ongoing protracted macro-economic crisis.
– The country also faces cholera outbreaks on a yearly basis, has very limited sanitation coverage and safe water access remain a challenge for most of the population.
– On top of these chronic situations, South Sudan has been highly impacted by the war that started in Sudan in April 2023. As of mid 2026, more than 1,300,000 people have entered South Sudan, the vast majority entering through the Joda/ Wunthow border point in Renk County, Upper Nile State (northern part of South Sudan).
– In 2025 internal tensions increased at government level and have led to wide spread conflicts within the country. Elections at the end of 2026 may not happen as planned.
– An Ebola outbreak is currently at its doors in DRC and Uganda.
As a result, 10 million are in need of humanitarian assistance as of 2026.

SI sectors of intervention:

– The portfolio includes both WASH & FSL activities. SI’s expertise in running emergency WaSH intervention is highly acknowledged by all WaSH actors and donors. SI has also been one of the first responders of the cholera response. Recent fundings have allowed increasing significantly the FSL component on the mission

Areas of operation:

SI is present:

– In Upper Nile, SI has an office in Renk and a sub-office in Malakal. The response has focused on cholera and drought while maintaining life saving WASH services for returnees and refugees in the two main transit centres of the country.
– SI has opened a base in Ulang in 2025 (State of Upper Nile but under another base/Field Coordinator)
– In addition, SI has a rapid emergency team (ERRM) based in Juba, who is being deployed following Rapid Needs Assessment in flood, epidemic or conflict induced displacement in the country.

Size of operations:

In 2026, the mission’s estimated budget is around USD 10 million, and 140 employees following an ongoing scale up on the last quarter of 2025.
The mission is currently funded by ECHO (3 grants), DoS, CDCS, FIFSAN, SSHF, Norway MoFA, FCDO.
