Première Urgence Internationale and La Chaîne de l'Espoir join the CMA CGM Foundation’s Containers of Hope program

Première Urgence Internationale assists marginalized and excluded civilian victims of natural disasters, armed conflicts, and economic collapse. They provide a comprehensive response toed and excluded their needs through projects in the areas of health, nutrition, protection, water, hygiene, sanitation, and rehabilitation.

La Chaîne de l'Espoir aims to improve access to surgical care for vulnerable populations, especially children and women, in fragile or protracted crises. They work in 30 countries where they contribute to the strengthening of health systems through their expertise in surgery and hospital engineering, with a logic of integrated intervention aimed at the autonomy of local teams.

As part of this partnership, the CMA CGM Foundation will transport containers filled with humanitarian aid free of charge, providing Première Urgence Internationale and La Chaîne de l'Espoir with the logistical support they need to carry out their missions. The integration of these new partners into the "Containers of Hope" program extends the geographical scope of the CMA CGM Foundation's operations and enables it to reach a greater number of vulnerable people around the world.

Containers of Hope, the flagship program of the CMA CGM Foundation, mobilizes the industrial means and logistical expertise of the CMA CGM Group to transport humanitarian supplies free of charge to crisis zones.

Since its launch in 2012, the program has enabled the delivery of over 30,000 tons of humanitarian aid to 64 countries in partnership with key humanitarian actors: UNICEF, the International Committee of the Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières, Action Against Hunger, and the French Red Cross.
