TAKING ACTION FOR A BETTER WORLD FOR TODAY’S YOUTH

As President of the Air France Foundation, I am pleased to welcome you to our site! Thank you for your interest in our work. 

With over 30 years of international experience and as a pioneer in the field of corporate foundations, the Air France Foundation has, since 1992, supported more than 1,600 projects in 80 countries where Air France is present. 

The teams are constantly striving to balance the actions we support in France, Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean.  

Over the years, the organization has focused its efforts on children and young people in difficulty, the sick, the disabled and educational cause, working hand in hand with associations and NGOs with which we have forged solid and lasting relationships.

Today, I, the Board of Directors and the Foundation’s Managing Director, Estelle Brice-Santos, 

are supported by a dynamic network of 5,000 Air France employees on whom we rely to regularly and actively carry out our projects and actions. 

The Foundation is working on three major commitments: education and integration of children and young people, deepening environmental awareness, and humanitarian support. I invite you to browse our website to discover more about our activities. 

By working together, we can open and illuminate new opportunities for children and young people in need.

AREAS OF COMMITMENT

Since 1992, the Air France Foundation has been providing long-term funding for community projects aimed at the most vulnerable members of the younger generation. Whether they are in precarious circumstances, ill or disabled, all children must have the chance of a better future.

2022 ACTIVITY REPORT

In 2022, the Air France Foundation celebrated its 30th anniversary. It was with great pride that we celebrated this anniversary in the company of several humanitarian associations, hundreds of children, employee ambassadors from our network and young people, in a resolutely festive atmosphere. 
This year, the Air France Foundation supported 53 projects benefiting over 53,000 children in 28 countries served by Air France. 
Education is a solid foundation for combating the inequalities associated with poverty, and remains one of the pillars of the Foundation. Taking account of environmental issues and access to new technologies are also levers of intervention around which actions are carried out to help build a society that respects people and the planet. 
In addition, we are proud to be able to count on the formidable chain of solidarity of Air France employees. Once again this year, many men and women from all the company's business lines have taken action alongside us. 

The Air France Foundation will continue to be mobilized to open the way for younger generations to a world of sustainable progress.

We are all committed to demonstrating our responsibility, our commitment and our motivation. 

We hope you’ll enjoy,
