Humanitarian Activities and Standards

SOLARIS bases implementing projects and all other activities within the field of humanitarian aid and meeting all the needs of people both in ordinary times and also in extraordinary times such as disasters, accidents, wars, conflicts, crises, floods, earthquakes, fires, landslides, etc.

SOLARIS attaches importance to meeting the expectations of people in need in a timely manner and to respect their dignity in the humanitarian aid system. Actors engaged in humanitarian activities need to pay attention to accountability against the communities and individuals especially which are affected by the crisis while using their power. In this way, individuals can hold humanitarian organizations responsible for their missing activities. Basic Humanitarian Standards, included in international law, place the individual at the center of the humanitarian activity based on the person’s right to have a dignified life, protection, and security. Basic Humanitarian Aid Standards are financially and technically relevant to organizations that provide direct assistance to communities affected by the crisis or take part in the region. SOLARIS tries to fulfill its functions without compromising its principles within the framework of these standards.
