Sadio Mane is an African professional footballer, born in Senegal in 1992, in a very modest family.
He plays in Western clubs and is considered as one of the greatest football players of his time.
Unlike the majority of African artists and sportsmen who use their status as “celebrities” to intimidate their weak and poor brothers and sisters, Sadio Mane uses part of his hard earned money to donate to his people; this is how he builds schools, hospitals, sports facilities and sponsors many disadvantaged African children for their future.
to explain his generosity, Sadio Mane made the following statement:
“I resisted hunger, I worked in the fields, I survived wars, I played football barefoot, I had no education and many more things, but today with what I earn from football, I built schools, a hospital, we provide clothes, shoes and food to people living in extreme poverty. In addition I give 70 euros per month to all people in a very poor region of Senegal. I don’t need to flaunt fancy cars, fancy villas, travel, let alone planes, I prefer my people to have a bit of what life has given me.”
if only Africa could have at least 10 Sadio Mane, Africa would change for the better.
Thank you Sadio Mane,
Respect to you, you are a true son of Mama Africa, you are a hero.
