Relief International - Schools Online (RI-SOL) was formed from the merger of the Los Angeles-based relief and development agency Relief International (RI) and the Palo Alto-based Schools Online (SOL). RI’s expertise is in the implementation of community development programming. Since 1990 RI has worked in “bridging and transitional” programs working with and supporting communities and societies in transition from crisis through to recovery and development and from centralized systems to sustainable market based democracies.
