Community support

Healthcare

With a presence worldwide, Total believes in helping the communities among which it operates. Its corporate-philanthropy policy is to fight inequality in disadvantaged communities, particularly where healthcare is concerned. Its activities are guided by two key objectives: the struggle against infectious diseases via research and training of medical personnel, and the promotion of children’s welfare.

The Total Foundation supports training programs for healthcare personnel at all levels in several African countries, often via its agreement with the Institut Pasteur. It also sponsors associations involved in caring for children in need. Between now and 2010, Total will devote 10 million euros to its activities in this area.
