Saily as Solferino 2026’s
international mobility partner
Solferino, an event held in the
Italian town of the same name over several days in late June 2026 in Italy,
celebrates Henry Dunant’s ideas, which resulted in the creation of the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Dunant visited the town after
the Battle of Solferino in 1859 and, after seeing the large numbers of injured
soldiers, reflected on his experiences in the book A Memory of Solferino.
Advocating for no discrimination for
those injured on the battlefield, Dunant joined the committee that worked to
establish the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Since 1992,
the Italian Red Cross has hosted volunteers from all over the world to
commemorate Solferino’s importance to the history of the movement. The pinnacle
of the event is the Fiaccolata — a procession from Solferino to Castiglione
delle Stiviere. The procession recreates the path that the wounded soldiers
were evacuated on, with thousands of volunteers carrying torchlights to
remember the humanitarian spirit that inspired the International Red Cross and
Red Crescent Movement.
Solferino 2026 was a special iteration
of the event because the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent
Societies (IFRC) launched its “Light in the Darkness” campaign. The campaign
invites people to take part by simply lighting a candle, sharing a meaningful
reflection about their life’s experiences, and encouraging others to do the
same. “Light in the Darkness” emphasizes listening to each other to bring
people together in troubling times.
Saily sponsored the event, providing
1,000 GB of data to volunteers who traveled to Italy for Solferino 2026. Caring
about people and the world around us is a Saily value, so helping the event’s
volunteers stay connected was only a natural fit.
How Saily helps nonprofit
organizations
The Italian Red Cross and Solferino
2026 aren’t the only nonprofit events or organizations sponsored by Saily. On a
regular basis, as part of the Saily Nonprofits program, the eSIM service
provides mobile data to those in need — people affected by emergencies,
volunteers, rescue workers, independent journalists, educators, and nonprofits
working with the environment.
Anyone working with a nonprofit is
welcome to apply for a free or discounted eSIM plan, and each case is reviewed
individually. Exemplary plans for nonprofits include 1 GB of data for seven
days, or for ongoing missions, 30-day plans with 3 GB to 5 GB of data. Plans
with more data are available depending on the use case. With Saily providing
coverage in over 200
destinations, you’ll be able to stay connected wherever your mission takes
you.
Using Saily as a nonprofit
If you’re part of a nonprofit
organization, using Saily is simple. After submitting an application on
the Saily Nonprofits program
page and our team approving your request, your organization will receive an
individual proposal for a mobile data plan.
Subsequently, you will have to
download the Saily eSIM app,
pick the destination you’re traveling to, and use the discount code you were
given for your data plan. Remember to follow the on-screen instructions to set
up the eSIM so you can use it as soon as you arrive at your destination. The
eSIM will activate automatically once you arrive, helping you connect with your
volunteering colleagues or your family.
