Christian Solidarity International (CSI) is a Christian human rights organization that advocates for and helps victims of religious persecution, enslavement, victimized children, and victims of natural disaster.
In 1995, CSI began to partner with local South Sudanese networks working to free their loved ones from slavery in Sudan. Thirty years later, these networks have liberated more than 160,000 people… and counting.
For over 40 years, CSI has been fighting for religious freedom and human dignity around the globe - assisting those whose lives are threatened and whose rights are abused.
