For non-violent and sustainable future,
for all.

International Solidarity Foundation

is a non-governmental organization launched in 1970. International Solidarity Foundation has made a lasting impact in the lives of women, men, and entire communities for over 50 years now. Over 85 000 people in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Somaliland benefit from our work annually.

We focus on enhancing women’s and girls’ bodily autonomy, strengthening their economic power, and partnering with civil society to advance women’s rights. We are experts on preventing female genital mutilation (FGM), which is a form of serious gender-based violence.
