After more than 10 years of action, the association changes its identity and thus affirms its membership of the international network"look good feel better". A program in 25 countries that has now supported more than 1,500,000 women with cancer worldwide.
The Association (law 1901), recognized of general interest and placed under the high patronage of the League against cancer, organizes free workshops of care and make-up to help the women, in the course of treatment against cancer, to find confidence and self-esteem. Since 2002, more than 12,000 women have"redrawn a smile" thanks to the organization of 1,400 workshops throughout France. More than 144,000 skin care and make-up products were offered by 16 major brands in the cosmetics industry.
"Belle & Bien" is also a chain of solidarity that now includes 3 employees, a hundred volunteers (beauticians and coordinators) and 22 hospitals, including 7 in the provinces.
