La Chaîne de l'Espoir
ABOUT THE HOPE CHANNEL
La Chaîne de l’Espoir is an international NGO founded in 1994. Its mission is to strengthen health systems to give everyone, and in particular children, the same chances of survival and development. Helping the most marginalized children is more than a moral obligation, it is a prerequisite for achieving the United Nations 2030 goals for children’s health and well-being. We operate in 28 countries with a global approach, centered on the child but also on mothers and disadvantaged communities:
- Prevention and screening from an early age, particularly in the context of school health programmes.
- Care and surgery, to meet the most urgent needs of children and their mothers.
- Training and transfer of skills to local teams thanks to our international network of experts in all fields of surgery.
- Construction and equipment of hospital structures adapted to local needs.
