The football world has exploded once again when Kylian Mbappé – the superstar of Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team – has just announced an unprecedented act of charity. According to the latest revelation, the 26-year-old striker has pledged to fund 20 million USD to build a giant sanctuary dedicated to abandoned dogs.
The project is considered a “heaven on earth” that promises to become a permanent home for thousands of stray dogs. This will be a place where they are raised, medically cared for, trained and most importantly, live in love instead of being forgotten on the streets.
Mbappé shared in the announcement: “I grew up with dogs and understand that they need affection and care just as much as humans. Football has brought me light and luck, but I want that light to shine on the little creatures who do not have a voice to protect themselves.”
It is known that this sanctuary will be located in the suburbs of Paris, on an area of tens of hectares. The project not only provides accommodation but also has a modern veterinary center, a playground, a training area and especially an adoption program. According to the plan, this will be a pioneering conservation model, which can be expanded to many other countries in the future.
Immediately after the news was spread, social networks exploded with millions of shares. Fans called Mbappé “a hero off the field”, “a star with a heart of gold”. One emotional fan wrote: “He not only scored for the French team, but also scored for humanity. This action will change the way we look at animal rights.”
International animal protection organizations were also quick to thank Mbappé. A representative of an organization in Europe said: “$20 million is not just a number, it is a strong signal that animals deserve to be loved and appreciated. Kylian has reshaped the future of animal welfare with his heart.”
Mbappé’s career has long been associated with the image of a talented young star, records and titles. However, it is these acts of kindness that have truly won the hearts of millions. This is not the first time Mbappé has donated a huge amount of money to charity. He donated his entire 2018 World Cup prize money to help poor children, and now, he continues to prove that greatness is not only measured by the number of goals.
In a context where many sports stars are criticized for their lavish lifestyles, Kylian Mbappé chooses to use his wealth to create positive change. This action not only elevates him to the status of an ideal role model in the eyes of fans, but also inspires a series of other athletes to join hands for the community.
Once again, Mbappé proves that he is not only a football icon, but also a symbol of charity. And with this $20 million “dog paradise”, his name will be remembered not only on the field, but also in the history of love for small creatures.
