Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger donates $101,000 for free education in Sierra Leone

Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger has donated the sum of $101,000 to support free quality education in Sierra Leone.

The Germany international was born to Sierra Leonean parents in Berlin and underlined his love for his African roots with the benevolent act.

After falling to a 1-0 loss with Chelsea on Saturday, Rudiger met with President Julius Maada Bio at the United Kingdom-Africa Investment summit in London to support Sierra Leone’s Free Quality Education initiative.

“Sierra Leone is my home. I’m not the talking type of a person, I am about action. You can count on us and do not hesitate,” Rudiger said.

“We are here to support your vision and agenda, especially on education. I am ready to take on my responsibility to change the narrative and image of Sierra Leone.”
