Association François-Xavier Bagnoud(FXB) is an international organization aimed at providing support for children with aids founded by Albina du Boisrouvray.

The strategies drawn up by FXB depend on the social, cultural, economic and political conditions of the regions in which the programs are implemented. All FXB programs aim to reduce the consequences of HIV and AIDS in societies in general and on vulnerable children in particular.

[edit] The name

The FXB is named after a helicopter pilot François-Xavier Bagnoud who died in 1986 on a helicopter rescue mission. François-Xavier Bagnoud was involved in over 300 rescue missions as part of Sion, Switzerland's Air Glaciers.^[1]

[edit] FXB Village Model

FXB Village Model programs help communities to become autonomous and able to take care of AIDS orphans. Each Village Model is a comprehensive service that, over a three-year period, provides socioeconomic self-sufficiency to 80-100 families.

The FXB Village Model Program has been developed and perfected over the years, particularly thanks to an ongoing dialogue with the various stakeholders in the field, starting with the communities themselves.

FXB is looking for new partners to replicate its module programs and help impoverished families acquire the capacity to meet their own needs and care for orphans and vulnerable children affected and/or infected by HIV/AIDS. The total budget for the FXB module program is of 165,000USD for 3 years.
