History

The foundation was established in September 2003[3][4] by Elena Franchuk, the daughter of Leonid Kuchma, the second post-Soviet Ukrainian President. In 2010 the Foundation changed its name to the Elena Pinchuk Foundation, as Elena Franchuk divorced her first husband, Igor Franchuk, and married Viktor Pinchuk (in 1997).[5] In 2010 Elena Pinchuk entered the UNAIDS High Level Commission on HIV Prevention.[6][7] In 2011 the Foundation launched a competition to develop social media and mobile phone projects for HIV prevention.[8]

Programs and projects

  • Wide scale campaigns to attract international leaders and stars attention to HIV problem in Ukraine. This has included a visit to Kiev by the 42nd President of the US, Bill Clinton,[11][12] along with charity concerts by Elton John[13][14] and Queen + Paul Rodgers.[15]
  • Partnership with international and Ukrainian organizations. Elena Pinchuk Foundation has been in partnership with the Clinton Foundation since 2004,[16] and the Elton John AIDS Foundation since 2007.[17]
