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.
Following the outbreak of the conflict in April 2023 and forced evacuation of Khartoum and West Darfur (El Geneina), SI was one of the first international NGO to re-enter Darfur and resume its emergency response.
In February 2024, SI opened a base in North Darfur to provide emergency assistance to populations, as very few humanitarian organizations were operational in the state. Similarly, SI opened an office in Zalingei, Central Darfur in November 2024 and East Darfur and West Kordofan in early 2026. In addition an office in Khartoum was maintained and in 2025 operations were opened in Jazeera state. Today, thanks to the support of SHF, CDCS, SDC, GFFO, SIDA, ECHO and BHA, activities are being implemented in West Darfur, Central Darfur, North Darfur, East Darfur, West Kordofan, Jazeera and Khartoum States across WASH, Shelter and NFI support, Food Security and Livelihood sectors.
Across the Darfurs, the main share of the portfolio remains WASH with the provision of water through water trucking, rehabilitation of water points/water yards, borehole drilling, hygiene promotion, sanitation (emergency latrine construction, semi-permanent latrine, showers, desludging), solid waste management, WASH NFI distribution, and WASH in Health etc. In the East the focus is on rehabilitation and recovery of water systems as well as emergency WASH interventions for health crises. Besides, SI implements food assistance mostly through cash and voucher modalities. West and North Darfur team also implements agricultural support activities (seeds distribution, provision of tools, training) as well as market strengthening support.
SI also has an Emergency Response Team based in Zalingei, Central Darfur, roving across Central and West Darfur, implementing rapid responses in WASH, Shelter/NFI and Food (CVA) as well as in North Darfur.
In North Darfur, SI was one first to intervene and are presently a leader in WASH response. The FSL work has brought in some great result in North Darfur.
Recently, we opened our new base in Al Dein in East Darfur and West Kordofan. The teams are already working on strong WASH response along with some critical Cash response. The team is currently assessing and opening new areas in Kordofans.
In the Eastern part of the country, SI is present with Wash and FSL activities in Khartoum and Jazeera, under ECHO, CDCS, and SHF.
Most of the programs are being implemented in Consortium, 2 led by SI, and require strong coordination efforts to provide area-based interventions. SI also has a strong localization approach, with diverse local partners in all states.
