Development from People to People

Founded in 1970, the International Solidarity Foundation (ISF) is a Finnish Non-Governmental Organisation which implements development cooperation projects in Nicaragua, Uganda and Somalia. It also carries out work in the Russian Karelia, in the border region of Finland.
Through long-term projects, ISF aims at improving the living conditions of the poorest sectors of society, particularly women and children, in the partner countries. In all the projects, ISF encourages women to participate in the development of their own community. The main objective is to strengthen women's social, economic and political status and to provide young people and chilren with the means to build a better future.
