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
  • Awareness media campaigns intended to attract attitude of Ukrainians towards the HIV/AIDS problem. The first campaign started in November 2003,[9] where up to 30 PSAs were made and shown on the national TV channels.[10]
  • Direct help to people living with HIV/AIDS.[11]
  • Wide scale campaigns to attract international leaders and stars attention to HIV problem in Ukraine. This has included a visit to Kyiv by the 42nd President of the US, Bill Clinton,[12][13] along with charity concerts by Elton John[14][15] and Queen + Paul Rodgers.[16]
  • Partnership with international and Ukrainian organizations. Elena Pinchuk Foundation has been in partnership with the Clinton Foundation since 2004,[17] and the Elton John AIDS Foundation since 2007.[18]
