Make a one-off donation

Since 1994, La Chaîne de l'Espoir has been strengthening healthcare systems to speed up the care of sick children. As a non-profit organization, we need donations from the general public to finance our actions. YOU give us the power to act.

Thanks to you

Why make a donation?

Thanks to the generosity of our donors since 1994 :

+ 7,000
children

operations per year

+ 200,000
beneficiaries

of our programs per year

+ 100
missions

medical or technical events organized each year

To meet the many needs identified on the ground, we need to raise the necessary funds to speed up the care of children: surgical interventions, hospital construction and equipment, training of local doctors, prevention and screening from the earliest age.

There are no small donations: every gesture counts.

La Chaîne de l’Espoir has been awarded the Don en Confiance label, an organization that certifies and monitors associations and foundations that appeal to the public’s generosity.

Eya’s heart is sick

When you’re 2 years old, you’ve got your whole life ahead of you, but unfortunately Eya isn’t so lucky. Doctors recently diagnosed her with a congenital heart defect, a ventricular septal defect, which forces her heart to work harder: chronic shortness of breath, stunted growth… Eya’s condition could deteriorate very quickly if we don’t take action.
With your help, the little girl could come to France for surgery and then resume a normal life with her family in Benin… A real child’s life!

Your questions, our answers

Is there a minimum donation amount?

No, there’s no minimum amount for a one-time donation: you give the amount you want, at the pace you want. The amount is deducted automatically from your bank account. However, we do issue a tax receipt for a one-off donation of €5 or more.
You can increase, decrease or stop your direct debit at any time.

Why make a regular donation?

Today, regular donations by direct debit are the most effective form of support for all our actions.
Unrestricted (they finance all the activities implemented by the association, and not a specific action), these donations allow us to pursue projects that are under-funded but essential or to mobilize emergency funds to respond to a humanitarian crisis, such as the earthquake in Haiti.

How do I make an IFI donation?

To support our Fondation Alain Deloche and benefit from tax relief, you can make an IFI donation. Formerly known as the ISF, the Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière (tax on property wealth) applies to net taxable property assets of over 1.3 million euros.

By making a donation, you can avoid paying property tax.

How do I get my tax receipt as a one-time donor?
You receive a single tax receipt for all your one-off donations over the past year. This document is sent out in the 1st quarter of the following year.
If you have lost your tax receipt, you can request a duplicate from Donor Relations:
