Solidarity is the main characteristic of international cooperation actions, since they promote aid to the most disadvantaged without receiving anything in return. Specialize in this field and work in underserved communities"  

Solidarity actions at the international level usually have a greater impact, as they involve different countries and organizations that decide to collaborate to improve the living conditions of their citizens. But at the local and regional level, this aid is also of great importance, especially in places with high levels of unemployment and poverty.
