The Fondation Pierre Fabre and BNP Paribas support the “Health Trove” project in Ukraine

03/03/2026

The Fondation Pierre Fabre and BNP Paribas announce their joint support for the “Health Trove” project, led in Ukraine by the MHP-Hromadi Foundation, in partnership with the Okhmatdyt National Children’s Specialized Hospital of the Ukrainian Ministry of Health.

This project aims to improve access to quality medical care for children living in rural and isolated communities, which have been particularly affected by the conflict.

Launched in 2022, “Health Trove” enables multidisciplinary medical teams to travel directly to villages to offer children comprehensive medical examinations free of charge. In a single day, each child receives specialist consultations in more than 16 medical disciplines, as well as clinical and biological examinations. The project primarily targets children from vulnerable groups. To date, 4,350 children have been examined as part of this initiative.

Thanks to the joint support of the Pierre Fabre Foundation and BNP Paribas Group’s corporate philanthropy program, the Health Trove project will see its activities in the field strengthened in 2026. The two partners will provide financial support to intensify interventions and reach a greater number of vulnerable children. This partnership will also promote the sharing of experiences and expertise among the actors involved, in order to sustainably strengthen the project’s impact.

The MHP-Hromadi Foundation

Founded in 2015, the MHP-Hromadi Foundation is one of Ukraine’s leading actors in the sustainable development of rural communities. Active in more than 700 communities across 13 regions, it supports nearly 3 million people, both in stable areas and in war-affected zones. Since 2022, the foundation has stepped up its efforts to meet urgent needs related to the conflict, particularly in the areas of health, education, and social support. The MHP-Hromadi Foundation’s programs are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and are based on strong partnerships with leading national and international institutions.

“Sustainable development begins with caring for people and first and foremost, for children. By ensuring access to healthcare for children, we invest in the healthy future of communities and the country as a whole,”— Oleksandr Pakholiuk, Director of the MHP-Hromadi Charitable Foundation. 

The Fondation Pierre Fabre

Recognized as a public utility since 1999, the Fondation Pierre Fabre works to enable people in LMICs or those facing crises related to conflict or natural disasters to access quality healthcare and medicines. It currently runs nearly forty programs in more than twenty countries in sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, Haiti, and Lebanon, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations, including children. In Lebanon, it is particularly involved in school health and the development of the mother-child center at the Quarantine Hospital in Beirut. The Pierre Fabre Foundation works in the field, always in partnership with stakeholders in the countries concerned.

“In all conflict zones, children are among the most vulnerable and hardest hit populations. We are pleased to support the Health Trove program, which responds to the emergency by providing Ukrainian children with essential care for their health and development, as close as possible to where they live” said Béatrice Garrette, Executive Director of the Pierre Fabre Foundation.

Through this coordinated support, the Pierre Fabre Foundation, BNP Paribas, and the MHP-Hromadi Foundation are affirming their commitment to international cooperation and solidarity in support of the most vulnerable victims of the war in Ukraine.
