About Us

Solidarités 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 launched its operation in Nigeria in 2016 because of the humanitarian needs of displaced populations and host communities caused by the current crisis with conflict and the ongoing violence in the North-East of Nigeria led by Armed Opposition Groups since 2009.

The security situation and epidemics/outbreaks continue to affect millions of lives in Northeastern and Northwestern parts of Nigeria. As of June 2022, according to IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix, an estimated 2.2 million people are displaced within North-east States, and several areas where IDPs are, remain inaccessible to humanitarian actors; in North West, over according to IOM, over 600,000 people are displaced due to attacks on civilians by bandit groups, inter-ethnic clashes, and farmer-herder clashes.

The targeted sectors of intervention are WASH, Shelter, RRM, Food Security & Livelihoods, and Nutrition, Health, Protection (through partnerships). The annual budget of the mission is around 8 million euros in 2023.

The mission is organized with a coordination office in Maiduguri and 2 bases located in Ngala and Monguno managed remotely from Maiduguri for the North-East. In the North-West, Solidarites International is conducting activities in Gusau, Anka and Taleta in Zamfara State, with bases in Gusau and Anka. Abuja is the representative office for the Nigeria mission.
