European Heart for Children (EHC) was founded by Claudia Florio, an Italian film director, during Prof. Roberto Ferrari’s  ESC presidency (2008-2010).

 

EHC started out as an ESC Committee in 2009 but has since then been transformed into a non-profit humanitarian organisation registered in France under number 01267 in the official associations journal No 0020 (15/5/2010) and declared in the “Prefecture des Alpes-Maritimes” 23/4/2010, with headquarters at the European Heart House in Nice.

The organisation falls under the umbrella of the ESC although it works independently.
