In a powerful and emotional gesture that transcends the boundaries of sport, Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah has announced a $10 million personal donation to fund the construction of homeless support centers in his home region of Gharbia, Egypt.
The initiative, described as one of the largest charitable projects ever led by an Egyptian athlete, will include 150 fully equipped housing units and 300 shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness or extreme poverty. Each center will also provide medical assistance, warm meals, and job training programs, offering not just shelter — but a real chance at rebuilding lives.
During a heartfelt press conference, Salah spoke with visible emotion about his inspiration for the project:
“I have seen far too many people back home struggling to survive cold nights without a roof over their heads, and I promised myself that if I ever had the chance, I would step up,” he said. “No one should have to sleep outside in that kind of cold.”
The announcement brought an outpouring of love and admiration from fans, government officials, and humanitarian organizations around the world. Many praised Salah not only for his football brilliance but for his unwavering commitment to giving back to his roots.
Over the years, Salah has quietly supported hospitals, schools, and families in his hometown of Nagrig, often without seeking attention. But this new project marks his most ambitious act of kindness yet — one that could transform hundreds of lives and inspire a new generation of Egyptians to help their communities.
As social media flooded with messages calling him “the pride of Egypt” and “a hero beyond football,” one thing became clear: Mohamed Salah’s legacy isn’t just about goals and trophies — it’s about humanity, compassion, and the power of using success to make the world better.
