FXB International
Association François-Xavier Bagnoud, also known as FXB International, is an international development organization aimed at providing support for communities affected by AIDS and poverty. The organization was founded in 1989 by Albina du Boisrouvray. FXB International operates as a non-governmental organization (NGO) that offers support in over 18 countries.
==History==
FXB International, abbreviated FXB, is named after François-Xavier Bagnoud, a helicopter search-and-rescue pilot who died in 1986 while serving as a transport pilot in Mali during the Paris-Dakar rally. He became the youngest professional Instrument Flight Related (IFR) airplane and helicopter pilot in Europe at age 23. Bagnoud was involved in over 300 rescue missions as part of Sion, Switzerland's Air Glaciers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fxb.org/mission/francois-xavier-bagnoud/ )〕
In 1989, along with the help of family and friends, Albina du Boisrouvray founded both the FXB Foundation and FXB International and in honor of her late son. In order to finance the operations of both the foundation and NGO, du Boisrouvray sold off three quarters of her business holdings, as well as paintings, pre-Columbian gold and silver objects, and her country home near Paris, raising $100 million.
Through the FXB Foundation, du Boisrouvray put $50 million into charities and programs: an at home palliative care program for the terminally ill in Switzerland, a rescue helicopter control center in the Alps, a center for health and human rights at Harvard University and a professorship at the University of Michigan, her son's alma mater. With the other half of the funds generated, du Boisrouvray founded FXB International. As a reflection of "the values of generosity and compassion that guided François's life", the organization was initially created to support children affected by AIDS.〔
