A native of the Ivory Coast,
Didier plays soccer in England.
Through his charitable foundation, Ivory Coast captain and
Chelsea legend Didier Drogba will help fund the construction of five clinics
specializing in children and women's health spread throughout the country. The
announcement was made by Didier Drogba Foundation secretary Guy Roland Tanoh,
who said that the projects are being funded by the organization's London galas
and Drogba's personal contributions.
The main goal of the Didier Drogba Foundation is to provide
financial and material support in health and education to the African people.
And the former Chelsea striker is also engaged in the fight against malaria
since early 2012, alongside United Against Malaria (UAM), starring in a new
campaign to fight this disease, which still kills a child in Africa every 60
seconds.
