WHERE WE WORK

Restoring Dignity in Complex Environments

While our primary on-the-ground operations focus on border communities in Mexico, we are part of a broader network of partners and collaborators in the U.S. and globally.

Our collective efforts help ensure that the most vulnerable populations have access to essential services, infrastructure, and support.

Locations: Our field operations are locally based to reach populations in the northern border cities of Reynosa and Matamoros, and the southern border city of Tapachula.

Cross-Border Collaboration: Just across the border in Northern Mexico, the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in Texas shares deep social and cultural ties with the communities we support. Many of our partners, volunteers, and supporters are based in the RGV, allowing us to mobilize resources quickly and work with advocates who understand the complexities of the border crisis. This collaboration strengthens our ability to provide locally-informed, effective aid.

Why We’re Here: With little aid from large organizations or government entities, Solidarity remains one of the few consistent presences in these high-risk areas. Together, we play a vital role in restoring dignity, safety, and hope to families navigating crisis.

Solidarity Engineering has a wide network of partnerships, supporters, and resources based in the United States. These connections enable us to raise awareness about our work, advocate for displaced populations, and secure vital resources and support.

Cross-Border Collaboration: The Rio Grande Valley (RGV) in Texas is home to many of our partners, volunteers, and supporters who have a unique understanding of the border crisis. This region’s close cultural and social ties with northern Mexico enhance our ability to mobilize resources quickly and strengthen our impact on the ground. Cross-border collaboration with the RGV allows us to work alongside advocates who are deeply invested in the well-being of communities affected by the crisis, and it serves as a vital hub for our U.S.-based operations and outreach efforts.

Northern Mexico: A humanitarian crisis at the border

Solidarity was founded in 2020 to address a growing humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. Still today, thousands of asylum seekers remain stranded in dangerous border cities as they await the chance to seek asylum.

These communities have extremely limited access to essential resources like clean water, sanitation, and safe spaces for children to learn and play.
