Aviation Without Borders (ASF), whose mission is to put aeronautical expertise at the service of humanitarian aid, immediately joined the project at its launch in 2016. Rather than using its own aircraft when flight demand is low, ASF prefers to charter planes from local operators that meet all air safety standards, and make them available to medical teams for short periods with high impact.
To reach the isolated areas of southern Madagascar, air travel is the most rational, effective, and efficient mode of transportation.
Organizing Medicaero missions by land would require several vehicles for long periods, which would be very costly and would require a military escort. The use of aviation therefore saves 2 to 4 working days for 5 to 12 medical specialists.

A century after the birth of Lions, the will remains intact and the commitment to serving others is ever greater. Lions Clubs International now brings together 1.4 million men and women in 47,000 clubs across 200 countries.

Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque enables children with heart defects to undergo surgery when it is impossible in their own country due to lack of technical or financial means. They are then cared for in 11 French cities, 2 Swiss cities, or 1 Spanish city. They are housed by volunteer host families and in Switzerland sometimes in a specialized house.
An international NGO founded in 1994, La Chaîne de l’Espoir aims to improve access to medical and surgical care for vulnerable people. It intervenes by strengthening health systems through training, support in hospital engineering, and the transfer of new technologies. It focuses particularly on children and women in fragile or crisis contexts.
