Save today’s children
to buildtomorrow’s world

To mark the 30th anniversary of La Chaîne de l’Espoir, the anniversary book “30 temps d’Espoir” (30 Times of Hope) recounts, through 30 moving testimonials, how the links in a unique chain, interweaving surgery, medicine, solidarity, generosity, passion and determination, have risen to every challenge to offer a better future to thousands of children.

La Chaîne de l’Espoir has opened a nutrition unit at theIMFE in Kabul, offering consultations and hospitalization for the most serious cases of malnutrition. Care is provided free of charge, and awareness-raising sessions on nutrition and breastfeeding are held for mothers.

If 20 people donate €30  (i.e. €7.50 after tax deduction), you finance the care of a child in our nutrition unit.

This 5-year-old Vietnamese boy, who lives 120 km from the capital, underwent surgery at the Tan Duc Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. Dr Phuong, trained by Pr Alain Deloche, corrected his heart defect. His heart is now beating strongly. For Bao, it’s a new beginning: he can finally play and laugh like other children.

If 48 people donate €60  (i.e. €15 after tax deduction), you enable a child with a heart condition to undergo surgery in his or her own country.

“In Madagascar, many newborns suffer from cardiac pathologies, but few can benefit from open-heart surgery. Thanks to the training provided by La Chaîne de l’Espoir, we are gradually developing our expertise in this field.”
Lucas Zakarimanana Randimbinirina Cardiovascular surgeon at CENHOSOA

If 275 people donate €200  (i.e. €50 after tax deduction), you finance the cost of a surgical training mission.
