Posted Saturday, February 23, 2019 by Marca.com
Lionel Messi's charitable foundation has donated 200,000 euros to help fund projects with UNICEF in Kenya.
The money will go towards building a water pump and supplying food.
The project will mean that more than 2,000 people, including children, will have access to running water in their homes and in primary schools.
Children will each get two litres of water during a school day, with new bathrooms being built in schools to improve hygiene.
At least 4,000 food supplements will be distributed to help solve hunger issues that exist in the area, with more than 58,000 young people suffering from malnutrition in Kenya between January and August last year.
It is estimated that more than 54,000 children under the age of five suffer from malnutrition in Kenya and do not have the necessary treatment to fight it.
