Who we are

SAIH is a solidarity organization, by and for students and academics. We have worked for over 60 years to promote higher education and academic freedom as a human right.

Together with volunteers, member organisations and local partner organisations in seven countries, we fight for everyone to have access to inclusive and quality higher education.
