We fight
inequality!

Societies in which wealth is distributed evenly live healthier lives, are better educated and are happier. Solidar Suisse works towards the fair global distribution of wealth, income and opportunities. With our projects we promote decent work and a democratic development.

Decent Work

Solidar Suisse advocates for living wages, social security and respect for human rights in the Global South.

Humanitarian Action

We provide emergency assistance following disasters, support reconstruction and help to restore livelihoods.

Democracy

Solidar Suisse supports civil society organisations. In doing so we lay the foundations for democratic processes and public participation in debate.
