Who we are?

“I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today”.

Martin Luther King pronounced these words during his famous speech on August 28, 1963 in Washington DC.

Like Martin Luther King, we have a dream at ‘Solidarité Palestine’. We dream that one day in the land of Palestine/Israel, little Palestinian boys and girls will be able to join hands with little Israeli boys and girls as sisters and brothers.

About us

‘Solidarité Palestine’ is a duly registered association under the provisions of the Registration of Associations Act 1978 of the Republic of Mauritius (link to www.mauriweb.com/mauritius

The idea of creating an association to sensitize the Mauritian public about the situation in Palestine/Israel and to concretely help the Palestinian children and the population at large, emerged in 2002. Mauritians of different faiths and walks of life started to meet on a regular basis. Mauritians, as a justice and peace loving nation, had to make their contribution to the building of peace in Palestine/Israel. Mauritius is multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-ethnic. African, Chinese, European and Indian origins. And in 2003 Solidarité Palestine was legally registered.

The objects of Solidarité Palestine are:

1. to create awareness of the situation in Palestine/Israel;
2. to hold regular fund-raising activities to improve the living standards of children and the population at large in Palestine;
3. to promote the use of non-violent conflict resolution techniques to help end violence, hatred and discrimination in Palestine/Israel;
4. to create and strengthen, through the solidarity activities described above, the bridges of understanding between the different communities in the Republic of Mauritius.
