A SUNSCREEN FORMULA
to be locally manufactured for people with albinism
The Fondation Pierre Fabre makes available to the international community the sunscreen formula developed with the help
of Laboratoires Pierre Fabre.
This protective cream, perfectly suited
to the conditions of the Global South (simple and inexpensive to produce, stable in hot and humid environments), has a high UV-protection factor (SPF +50) and can be manufactured locally,
as the Foundation’s partners are already doing to help prevent skin cancer in people with albinism in Africa.

THE NENGO
PROJECT BEGINS
in the Central African Republic
The NENGO project began its operational phase in September 2020. On 24 November 2020, the treatment centre for victims of sexual violence was officially opened in Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic. This project, developed according to the holistic model implemented by Dr Denis Mukwege in the DRC, and co-funded by the Agence Française de Développement and the Fondation Pierre Fabre, will help more than 3,200 people over a four-year period.
Faced with a situation of generalised economic
and financial distress which plunged 4.5 million Lebanese into poverty – and which was worsened
by the Covid-19 pandemic and the explosion in the Port of Beirut in August –, the Fondation Pierre Fabre significantly increased its support for the Lebanese Association of Knights of the Order of Malta in 2020. This NGO, a long-standing Foundation partner, manages a network of 11 healthcare centres and
six mobile medical units that provide services to the Lebanese and refugee populations free of charge. Structural support will be provided to the NGO over a period of three years with additional aid from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).
