Focus on...
The aim of Audition Solidarité is to work towards improving the auditory well-being of sensitive or disadvantaged populations throughout the world, by means of prevention, information, the introduction of auditory technologies, training, research and actions aimed at supporting any humanitarian project in favour of the world of Hearing. AuditionSolidarité's ethics are based on the key values of solidarity and fairness in access to hearing care, respect for individuals, openness and adaptability, and professionalism in all its actions. Thanks to its partnership with the Air France Foundation, Audition Solidarité benefits from plane tickets and excess baggage to transport medical staff and humanitarian equipment, thus reducing the costs of its missions abroad.
Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque offers a chance of a normal life to children with heart defects, by enabling them to be operated on in several European towns when their country does not have the necessary financial or technical resources. More than 5,000 children have benefited from this initiative since 1996. Transporting these children to the treatment centres is a major logistical challenge, which has been successfully met thanks to an essential partnership with the Air France Foundation. For over 20 years, the Foundation has used Air France's expertise to provide humanitarian air tickets every year, ensuring that the children have a safe and comfortable journey. This collaboration also makes it possible to deal with unforeseen circumstances, guaranteeing continuity of care and a better future for these young patients.
Pédiatres du Monde is an international solidarity organisation specialising in paediatrics. Its volunteer members are health professionals who put their skills at the service of the health of mothers and children in precarious situations.
The association favours long-term programmes focused on training and empowering local professionals, covering day-to-day care, medical training, improving care environments and family health education. Specific programmes target issues such as disability, diabetes and deafness.
The ethos of Pédiatres du Monde is based on listening and co-construction with local partners, respecting their priorities and complying with national health policies.
The missions, which are short but repeated over several years, are carried out by teams of 3 to 10 people in seven countries, as well as in France, working with migrant and vulnerable populations.
The partnership with the Air France Foundation helps to reduce the volunteers' mission costs by providing transport.
In the event of a Humanitarian crises
In the event of a natural or health disaster, the Foundation deploys a system to help the affected populations by providing transport for NGOs and rescuers with their equipment. It also funds NGOs to provide 1st emergency kits. To do this, it relies on international organisations with local relief offices to best meet the needs of the populations concerned.
Donate Miles
Flying Blue, the Air France-KLM Group's loyalty programme, offers its members the chance to donate Miles to around twenty charities, most of which are supported by the Foundation. Most of these associations are selected in the humanitarian, health, social or educational fields, and support young people or children in need, both in France and abroad. All Miles donated by customers to these NGOs contribute to funding their missions.
It is also possible to donate miles in the event of a humanitarian crisis to help those affected.
