Notable activities
Activities in the Field of Humanitarian Aid
Run with faith in heart is a social initiative inspired by "Danone" to help children with heart disease. Early diagnosis of heart disease increases the chances of the small patients of a speedy and full recovery. Unfortunately, in Ukraine only few medical institutions can diagnose the disease in time and cure it. In order to help children's hospitals with the procurement of necessary equipment , sympathetic and kind residents of Ukrainian cities are joining the race. In such way they show their personal involvement and commitment to fight heart disease by making charitable contributions and engaging in sport activities during the run.
Supporting Music & Visual Arts

Moreover, 60% of Danone employees live in emerging countries where healthcare systems are often poor. In 2009 Danone launched the Dan’Cares programme in order to provide health cover to all employees worldwide which increases employee commitment.
