Ex Ivory coast International and Chelsea Striker Didier
Drogba has said the biggest game of his life is to build hospitals to save
lives in his home country Ivory Coast.
The Chelsea Striker told Oma Akatugba in an exclusive chat he
wants to give as much people as he can the chance to live and chase their
dreams as he has done and there is no other way to do this than to build
hospitals in order to give free healthcare to sick people in my Country.
"This is the game of my life,We want to buld five
hospitals,one in each of the five major states in my country Ivory Coast.We
also want to have mobile clinics so we can go from house to house to make diagnostic
and try to cure people of thier illness "Drogba said
The Didier Drogba
Foundation is the project set up by the Chelsea hitman to give free healthcare to
women and kids in Ivory Coast.
2.5 billion CFA francs ($5 million) will be invested in the projects, with one facility to be built in each of the five major cities of the West African country namely Abidjan, Yamoussoukro, Man, Korhogo and San Pedro.
The gala held in London helped us raise $ 2 billion CFA
francs ($4 million).
the foundation had given support to orphanages and several
structures that address issues relating to underprivileged children.
The Didier Drogba Foundation was founded in 2007 and planned
the construction of a £3 million hospital a year later, which is yet to see the
light of the day.
The Former Galatasary star is 36 and still scoring for his
English Premier League Club Chelsea but it looks very clear he is already
preparing for life after football with this laudable project that gives hope to
millions of kids and women in his home country Ivory Coast.
Didier Drogba spoke with International Football Expert Oma Akatugba
