In 1989, Solidaridad Internacional Nazioarteko Elkartasuna (Non-Governmental Development Organization, declared of Public Utility) was founded, with the mission of supporting and giving voice to the most impoverished people on Earth, within the framework of the International Charter of Human Rights. During these years they have been the channel to convey the solidarity of Basque society to thousands of people who live in the most disadvantaged regions of the world. And theyhave influenced the awareness in their environment about the causes of poverty and inequality.
To ensure that this solidarity reaches its destination in the best conditions and with the best results, Solidaridad Internacional Nazioarteko Elkartasuna has been carrying out its work with rigor, planning, quality, effectiveness and efficiency.
They promote solidarity with the most impoverished people in the world and with the most disadvantaged people in their towns and cities.
Their MISSION is the eradication of poverty, facing its economic, religious, cultural and environmental causes, as well as the extension of freedom and equal rights in the world. In coherence, they implement programs that contribute to sustainable human development so that impoverished people on Earth take control of their own lives.
They work in: gender equity; the extension and defense of human rights and universal citizenship; environment and sustainable development; rights of nature; humanitarian action; education for social transformation; Africanist Resource Center; co-development; volunteering.
The VISION of International Solidarity Nazioarteko Elkartasuna is born from the value of fraternity, and works locally with an international vision.
The Nazioarteko Elkartasuna International Solidarity MODEL is that of an independent non-profit organization that fosters fraternity in the world, and is based on the values of freedom, justice, secularism and universal citizenship.
They work in very disadvantaged regions that only have the support of secular cooperation. And they implement a social and collective development in their lines of action, valuing the environment and animal life as a resource for sustainable human development.
Their experience in social innovation has led them to consolidate a strategic axis of work with people of African origin in their environment in two lines of action: one, aimed at promoting their participation as subjects of full Law in their society. And the second line is getting its direct involvement in sustainable human development processes in their communities of origin.
