Didier Drogba a footballer with a big heart

Drogba attitude that does not know him. It marked the heart of the Ivorians and many Africans. His name is quoted in cut-off songs. It makes the world dream by its talent, but also by its generosity. Unfortunately, often when talking about footballers, there is a lot of emphasis on the goals they have scored or their private lives. We often forget to highlight their best achievements, in my opinion, the good actions they do daily to help their neighbors. And yes, footballers are not just machines for goals, but they are also golden people with a big heart, who do not hesitate to use all their popularity to relieve and support others.
Well aware of the difficulties encountered by the African continent, in 2007, Didier Drogba founded the foundation Didier Drogba with the aim of providing financial and material support in the field of health and education to those who need it.
He actively collaborates with various organizations such as the Abidjan Red Cross, the White Page Establishment, the Grand Bassam orphanages and Madame Thérèse Houphouët-Boigny to help the most deprived. Through its foundation, it has offered many gifts and love to more than 300 orphaned children. He did not hesitate to take charge of the small Nobel Assamoi Yao suffering from leukemia.

Despite the support of the Chelsea striker, little Yao died at the age of 8 years.

I will always be there, alongside the children of Côte d’Ivoire and all of Africa. It is my duty to give them comfort and all the fulfillment they need. I play football for them. They are certainly inspired by my career. And I have to participate in their well-being, “the former Elephant captain told reporters.»

Education is very important for his foundation. Being educated is a weapon and a source of wealth, which makes it possible to face the adventures of life. All these words are translated into action. Indeed, the foundation Didier Drogba did not hesitate to help the children in need of the village of Niangon Lokoa in Yopougon, offering more than 5,000 school kits.

A project of particular interest to him is the construction of a hospital to treat the wounded. This project matured in his mind the day when when in a qualifying match for the World Cup, a wall collapsed in the national stadium making 19 dead and 133 injured. Well aware of the difficulties in taking charge, he decided to work actively to allow his hospital to see the light of day. But this project is not easy to implement. It has lagged because it requires a favorable climate with considerable cost and many authorizations. And seen, the different problems that cross the Ivory Coast. All this was not obvious.
In spite of everything in order to achieve his goal, Didier Drogba organized three charity galas in 2009, 2010 and 2012 for the creation of his clinic where he did not hesitate to call on the support of renowned footballers like Nicolas Anelka, Claude Makelele, Florent Malouda. With the help of many donors, its foundation was able to raise £ 1 million. And do not hesitate to raise funds to fight against malaria.
Named UN Goodwill Ambassador in 2007, Drogba does not hesitate to intervene in numerous clinics to help the sick. In particular, it assists more than 300 families at the Soma mine by donating or raising funds. Moreover, during the terrible floods that hit Senegal, the Chelsea striker did not hesitate to make a donation of five million CFA francs to help the Senegalese families who suffered.
Finally, it is very important to remember that Didier Drogba reverses all his commercial revenues from advertising contracts with Pepsi and Samsung and the 1000 books he receives for each goal marked at his foundation.

Afroculture.net and many people in the world thanked Didier Drogba fervently, but also to the team of his foundation who work relentlessly to bring some light into this world full of obscurities.
