Solidar Suisse

Solidar Suisse is a non-governmental organization active in international cooperation (development cooperation and humanitarian aid). It provides material help and help for self-help to disadvantaged and oppressed people. She works for social justice and against exploitation and exclusion. Solidar Suisse pursues a grassroots and partnership approach; it works with local organizations. Solidar Suisse informs the Swiss population about its activities abroad, sensitizes them to the causes and backgrounds of poverty, lack of freedom and social injustice and makes them aware of their own options for action to alleviate and eliminate these grievances. Solidar Suisse influences Swiss development policy in cooperation with the supporting organizations. For Solidar Suisse's work, human dignity and human rights are the central frame of reference. It respects the cultural values of the local population and aligns its activities with the social and ecological conditions.
