why?

We all know there is no life without water. Displaced populations face disproportionate challenges in accessing safe drinking water. Having adequate water supply and management is critical in overcrowded shelters and camps.

Intense water insecurity that is often experienced by displaced populations both increases the risk of waterborne diseases, putting public health in danger, and can strain the water resources of host communities. Solidarity works in water stressed areas, and unless water is responsibility managed, increased populations and water scarcity have compounding effects.

Believing in protecting both the planet and its people, Solidarity prioritizes ensuring access to safe, consistent, and reliable water sources.

- Educational materials
- School supplies
- Toys

Data-Driven
Advocacy

Data is crucial in advocating for resources, public health support, and systemic change. Our data-driven advocacy efforts support communities affected by displacement by informing our team's operations and sharing with stakeholders about on-the-ground needs.

Our approach not only enhances the effectiveness of humanitarian responses, but also fosters transparency and accountability within the sector, ultimately saving lives and promoting long-term recovery.

Our Services Include:

Needs Assessments and Community Surveys: Gathering insights on the needs and experiences of the communities we serve.
Monitoring & Evaluation: Assessing the impact of our projects to ensure they are effective and meet community needs.
Evidence-Based Advocacy: Using data to influence partners, government agencies, and humanitarian organizations to increase support and resources for displaced communities.
