Mbappé invests a fortune in Peru in a new charitable project: it's going to make headlines

The footballer orchestrates a new charitable action to help those who need it most

One of the main tasks of many elite European footballers is philanthropy. Given the large fortunes they manage throughout practically their entire careers, even after their professional stages, many have decided to invest part of that money in improving the planet.

The most notable example and reference at Real Madrid is, without a doubt, Vinícius Jr. The "7" verdeamarelo started several major projects through his foundation several years ago, whose goal is to improve the quality of life for the residents of São Gonçalo. Improving his hometown, one of the most recognized favelas in Brazil, is one of the many objectives of that foundation.

All the solidarity and humanitarian projects carried out by Vinícius's foundation are also in line with the decisions made by his teammate in the starting forward line: Kylian Mbappé. Through his own foundation, Inspired by KM, the new "10" at Real Madrid has approved a major project designed for children.

Mbappé's foundation has chosen the Peruvian town of Ancón to build from scratch a new school that will provide quality education for children living in the area. It also aims to install a synthetic grass soccer field, with a dual purpose: to allow children to play and to facilitate their introduction to sports and its best values.

A very important job

The work of the Inspired by KM foundation is beginning to expand across the globe. The creation of this charitable aid organization was certified in 2020, when the Bondy forward set out to help 98 young French people until their entry into the workforce. With constant monitoring, Inspired by KM aims to integrate them directly into French society.

The decision to undertake this charity project in Ancón, Peru is just one of the first steps to take the foundation's work beyond French borders. The expansion of Inspired by KM, led by Kylian Mbappé himself, has his mother as the main person responsible for these changes.

Indeed, it is Fayza Lamari who has taken charge of much of the media and business "empire" created around the current Real Madrid player. The importance of the Madridist footballer continues to grow, especially now that he wears the white jersey, and allows him to expand the reach of his charitable projects.

While it is true that Kylian Mbappé's and Vinícius's cases are not the only ones, they are the most prominent in the world of elite soccer. Indeed, the foundations of both Madridist players are beginning to gain more and more importance both inside and outside their respective countries.
