SOL'S
commitment
HUMANITARIAN RELIEF
SOL’S has been involved for more than 15 years in helping
the poorest people and has brought help to several NGOs
in Bangladesh. Through its actions SOL’S commits itself for
improvements in the health of the populations and women’s
rights.
Patricia Kerr
Head of the Orphanage
THE SREEPUR ORPHANAGE: Much more than
just an orphanage, a training school.
SOL’S has massively invested in the Sreepur
Orphanage. Only one of its kind in Bangladesh,
it is totally self-sufficient and has integrated
a school and training for 140 women looking
after 450 to 600 little orphans. Since 2009, SOL’S
has financially contributed to the life of the
orphanage and asks both its staff and clients to
give donations in equipment.
The NARI UDDUG KENDRA NGO (NUK):
Constantly improving the health of local
populations.
Also in Bangladesh, SOL’S is committed to a
remarkable operation alongside the Nari Uddug
Kendra NGO (NUK) in the financing of the
Agarasindhur community hospital. The aim of
this project is to improve the health of the women
and children but also to provide a medical service
of quality at a small cost to the local population.
Thanks to this type of action, more and more
people are treated every year.
Alexandre Debanne
Organizer of the Green Tree Raid
GREEN TREE RAID
For the fourth year running, SOL’S takes part in
the Green Tree Raid, supplying contestants and
organizers all the necessary clothes and travel bags.
The only raid exclusively for women.
In total immersion in natural surroundings, no motors for a total
respect of the environment, the 225 contestants take part in a real
adventure only for women. Alongside Alexandre DEBANNE, SOL’S participates and
shares the same ethical values: team spirit, competition, respect of the environment.
The raid’s “human scale” encourages participants to push their limits and discover
themselves through others.
Cambodge 2014 RAID from November 17th to 25th 2014
