Humanitarian initiatives
Through the Air France Foundation and KLM AirCares,
the Group supports and funds a number of world-wide
projects to help sick and disabled children as well as
populations in distress.
Every year since 1999, KLM AirCares has selected four
different bodies and organized innovative and imaginative
events to help them with fund raising. They are given
access, for example, to the company’s communication
resources, enabling them to reach a vast audience.
In 2006, KLM AirCares and the Amsterdam university
medical center signed a partnership agreement to improve
the medical treatment of children in Kenya by enabling
specialists employed by the medical center to train
Kenyan pediatricians. KLM has also helped establish a
center for disabled children in Medan, Indonesia.
Since 1992, the Air France Foundation has been helping
sick, disabled and street children, as well as
disadvantaged young people in difficulty in France or the
countries in which Air France is present. Air France
employees contribute to this initiative and have created a
network of 1,500 volunteers, known as the Friends of the
Foundation.
The Foundation works in partnership with associations
and NGOs in the area of education and training for
children and young people, providing them with financial
and technical support. It also supports projects suggested
by Air France employees when the latter are already
involved in associations which assist children.
In 2006, the Air France Foundation funded more than 50
educational and training projects, notably in France,
Romania and China.
Aviation sans Frontières (ASF) mobilizes
for the Lebanon
Air France also supports Aviation sans Frontières,
an association of volunteers which helps deliver
assistance and supplies to disaster-stricken countries
in aircraft flown and maintained by its members.
Thanks to ASF, six tons of medical supplies and
humanitarian aid were shipped to Beirut in August
2006.
Supporting these associations
Everyone can support the work of
the Air France Foundation and KLM
AirCares by donating Flying Blue air
miles. The miles collected in this
way are converted into Air France
or KLM tickets and given to various
deserving causes.
