OUR ACCOUNTS
For 25 years, Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque has been providing care for children with heart disease in countries that do not have the logistical and financial means to operate on them. Our mission is to act rigorously and in a controlled manner for the strict benefit of sick children.
THE RIGOUR OF THE ANNUAL BUDGET
Ensuring quality of care is possible thanks to rigorous and controlled financial management to optimize and reduce the costs of care as much as possible.
ACCOUNT ACCURACY
Very detailed cost accounting allows us to monitor and control our expenses. Financial lines are defined pole by pole, and our administrative and financial department, supported by a board of independent experts, has developed systematic and binding budget management tools.
Each action is developed with a result objective and the majority of our purchases, which are also checked by the division directors, are subject to a permanent search for objectives:
- Maximum free search,
- Purchase at the best price,
- Loyalty to our suppliers,
- Respect for our values

THE ASSOCIATION ACCOMPANIES ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OVER SEVERAL YEARS
Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque pays particular attention to its environmental impact. It is in this context that the Association has chosen " A Tree For You "for a project with a strong local impact in Madagascar, a country where the Association has been working regularly with 206 Malagasy children in care since 1997. Supported by Air France and Aviations sans Frontières, Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque has chosen to finance the Kolorano project: planting 55,000 trees, 25,000 of which will ultimately secure the water and food supply for the producers, thus enabling the inhabitants of the town of Ambalavao and the surrounding farming families to practice agriculture downstream and upstream from the springs. A sustainable project with an impact on the local population.
Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque finances the project to support the environmental impact of air transport of children coming for treatment in France accompanied by their Aviation Sans Frontières couriers, medical missions in the various countries where the Association operates, as well as the impact of ground transport for fund-raising events.
It is a virtuous circle between the partners ofMécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque: Air France, Air France humanitaire, Aviations sans Frontières and the association A Tree for You.
Location of the Kolorano project in the commune of Ambalavao on the island of Madagascar.
France Générosités, of which Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque is a member, was created on the initiative of associations and foundations appealing to the generosity of the public; its mission is to defend, promote and develop generosity in France. It thus represents the sector within the public authority to defend the interests of its members and foster a climate and context favorable to generosity.
