ABOUT THE MISSION
SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid association which, for nearly 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 – 2000 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.
Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine, over 714,600 people, mostly women and children, fleeing the war have entered into Moldova. Most of them transit through Moldova to continue their journey to Romania and other destinations or to return to Ukraine. It is estimated end of November 2022 that more than 98,000 Ukrainians are present in Moldova; 67% are female, 39% are children under the age of 18.
SI is registered and operational in Moldova since March 2022 and started humanitarian interventions in the sector of Water Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) and Food Security and Livelihood (FSL). Emergency projects are still ongoing in Moldova through the provision of daily hot meals in RACs (Refugee Accommodation Centres), CASH assistance targeting Moldova families hosting Ukrainian refugees and WASH services (Palanca and Otaci bus stations, border crossing points and RACs).
Solidarites International within the frame of SYNERGIES Consortium (HI, MdM and SI) is funded by the Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD) and Fondation de France (FdF) to implement a 18 months project to strengthening social cohesion and resilience of Moldovan society to the challenges of hosting Ukrainian refugees. In terms of strategy SI wishes to maintain an operational presence in Moldova through relevant long-term projects to absorb possible shocks related to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
