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
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces, SI has been responding to the needs of the population living in areas under Government control. While programming in 2022 and 2023 was-rightly-focused on immediate emergency response, the year 2024 marked a transition toward a more balanced approach, combining both emergency and early recovery interventions.
SI’s main strategic objective for 2025 is to strengthen and clearly position its comparative advantage in Ukraine. The ambition is for SI to build a recognized and demonstrable expertise in WASH and Shelter. The program strategy for 2025 therefore focuses on two core sectors-WASH and Shelter-and is structured around two strategic axes:
1. Respond to both acute and chronic emergencies
2. Contribute to creating the conditions for dignified return or sustainable stay in stable areas through a recovery-oriented approach
To maximize the impact of its interventions, SI aims to further enhance sectoral integration and promote localized approaches.
In 2026, SI’s country program in Ukraine is expected to operate with a budget of approximately 10 million euros, with three field bases (Mykolaiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv), one coordination office in Kyiv, and a total of 110 staff, including around 20 expatriates.
The main donors in 2026 will be, in order of funding volume: CDC, AFD, BHA, and ECHO. Additional donors have been approached to expand and diversify the portfolio further, in line with SI’s programmatic priorities.
