Mission
Secours Islamique France is committed to reducing poverty and vulnerability in France and around the world, without proselytising or discriminating. SIF takes action wherever there are humanitarian and social needs that require emergency relief, development programmes and advocacy campaigns.
VALUES
Secours Islamique France is built on Islam’s human values of solidarity and respect for human dignity, which are central to everything we do.
Solidarity
Through our commitment, values and projects, SIF advocates for the creation of a human solidarity that transcends both differences and borders. We focus on solidarity and sharing with disadvantaged people, and with the organisations that support them, through partnerships.
Respect for human dignity
SIF particularly strives to ensure respect for human dignity and, in all our solidarity initiatives and approaches, we make genuine efforts to learn about and understand the specific social, cultural and religious backgrounds of the people we help. Furthermore, we work to ensure we can all live well together though an ethics of respect for otherness.

> Food security and livelihoods
> Water, sanitation and hygiene
> Shelter and accommodation
In France, SIF focuses on three areas to tackle insecurity and exclusion:
