On December 5th, ALTRAD Solidarity launched its first connected challenge to engage all ALTRAD Group subsidiaries in a charitable initiative benefiting the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association. For ten days, employees were invited to participate in various activities that allowed them to earn points and, in doing so, save the hearts of children around the world. Using their pedometers, as well as completing photo and video challenges, our employees went above and beyond, making it possible to transform the lives of 10 children worldwide. These children, suffering from heart conditions, will have the opportunity to be sponsored by the association and benefit from comprehensive care, including transportation from their home country to France. Once in France, a host family will welcome the child and support them throughout their treatment journey. We warmly congratulate the 1,500 ALTRAD Group employees who mobilized for the Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque association. Through their efforts, they will significantly improve the lives of ten children awaiting surgeries that are otherwise unattainable in their home countries. Well done to all, and see you soon for more charitable actions!

The Antoine Capitani endowment fund supports Domaine du Possible, an experimental, local, agroecological school located near Alès in the south of France. Based on curiosity and the joy of learning, encouraging independent research and an active learning experience, the Domaine du Possible school aims to give its students the ability to understand the meaning of what they are learning, to experience a strong relationship with the surrounding nature and to be supported in their uniqueness.ALTRAD Solidarity supports this initiative for a more supportive and inclusive school that breaks down the barriers that sometimes stand between young learners and knowledge.

As part of its prerogatives, ALTRAD Solidarity has responded favorably to a request for a grant from the CHILDREN'S CANCER CENTER LEAGUE FOUNDATION, whose aim is to develop and support any scientific and humanitarian work of general interest designed to promote access to treatment for children suffering from cancer in Lebanon and elsewhere, as well as cooperation with non-profit medical research centers, particularly those specializing in cancer research. The CCCLF, inaugurated in 2002, today provides support for 50% of children with cancer in Lebanon, from a few months to over 18 years of age, including children from neighboring countries and refugees. ALTRAD Solidarity's donation has helped to cover Zahraa's medical expenses and ease her family's financial burden at this difficult time. We are happy to hear that Zahraa is doing better, and that the assistance of the endowment fund has played a part in her journey to recovery.
