Bringing smiles and support as Monaco’s “Frankie’s Children” transforming lives

Under the honorary presidency of H.S.H. Prince Albert II, the Monegasque association Les Enfants de Frankie has dedicated itself since 1997 to supporting sick, disabled, and disadvantaged children in Monaco and the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region…

The association’s mission is to bring comfort, joy, and essential resources to children facing difficult circumstances, impacting over 150,000 young lives through funded activities and essential support projects.

Recently, the association made a significant contribution by providing a new seven-seater vehicle to an organization in Cagnes-sur-Mer, enabling families to enjoy outings together and strengthen family bonds. This gift was made possible thanks to a generous €23,000 donation from Mrs. Boglione. Additionally, Les Enfants de Frankie hosted 30 children from Marseille hospitals for a memorable day in Monaco, featuring a visit to the Oceanographic Museum and a viewing of the Prince’s Palace changing of the guard—experiences that left children “with stars in their eyes,” according to Monaco Matin.

Beyond excursions, the association organizes special events like the exhilarating day at Luc Circuit, where children enjoyed rally car rides, met popular YouTubers, and witnessed thrilling stunt demonstrations. Les Enfants de Frankie also funds essential projects, with over €75,000 allocated in 2024 for initiatives such as cultural workshops, adaptive software for non-verbal children, and school trips for visually impaired students.

Looking ahead, the beloved “Frankie’s Christmas” event on December 8th will bring holiday cheer to over 1,500 children, with entertainment by “The Voice Kids” semi-finalist Matisse Jones, ventriloquists, and break dancers, plus holiday gifts and treats for each child.

Under founder Francien Giraudi’s leadership and the ongoing support of Monaco’s Princely family, Les Enfants de Frankie remains a pillar of kindness and joy for children in need, with a global impact recognized through its consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council since 2008.
