Solidaritee

SolidariTee is an international student-led charity. It is a demonstration of solidarity which, thanks to the money that it raises, makes a tangible change. A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee their home due to fear of persecution because of their identity or beliefs. Today, refugees and asylum seekers who have fled violence and persecution, making unbelievably difficult and life-threatening journeys to reach safety, are frequently forced to live in unbearable conditions in ‘camps’ across Europe and around the world. We’re a grant-giving charity, offering grants to NGOs (non-governmental organisations) which provide legal aid and other long-term, empowering forms of support to asylum seekers. We also work to raise awareness and inform the international community about the injustices perpetrated against refugees and asylum seekers worldwide, and about how we can create positive, lasting change to uphold the rights of all those affected by forced displacement. Our student volunteers organise a variety of online and in-person events and activities, ranging from conferences and panel discussions through to pottery events and quiz nights, in addition to raising vital funds through the sale of our custom made t-shirts, or SolidariTees. We are deeply grateful that more than students across 10 countries have volunteered with us since 2018, raising over for our partner NGOs. We’re student-led, but by no means student exclusive, and to make truly meaningful change we need to unite the international community as a whole. We welcome everyone to attend our events, join the movement, and stand in solidarity with refugees worldwide. To donate to our Where We Rise launch, please follow this link:
