The Society for Humanitarian Solidarity (SHS) is a non-governmental, humanitarian, community-based, and civil association that works in the humanitarian and charitable field and provides a range of humanitarian services.
SHS was established in 1995 in Mayfa’a District, Shabwah Governorate, Yemen. The association strives to uphold humanitarian principles and impartiality, and its work includes humanitarian relief for refugees, internally displaced persons, and people affected by disasters and human conflicts. It is constantly seeking to create dignified and sustainable livelihoods that support low-income households, vulnerable individuals, and families in need.
In 2011, the Society for Humanitarian Solidarity received the UNHCR Nansen Refugee Award, becoming the first Arab association in the Middle East to receive this award since its establishment in 1954. The award is granted to an individual or organization in recognition of outstanding humanitarian work
