Lionel Messi pays daily breakfast for 15,000 Mozambican children

For many, Lionel Messi is the best footballer in all of history. He puts it at the level of players of the stature of Pelé and Diego Armando Maradona and it is completely fair. But La Pulga is also a crack outside the playing fields.

Repeatedly, the Argentine star who defends the Barcelona shirt is the protagonist of various gestures of solidarity. And one of them saw the light in the last hours, generating applause and admiration from locals and strangers.

Through his own foundation, this week the help of Messi was known, who pays daily for breakfast for 15,000 children in Mozambique, a humble country in Africa where poverty, unfortunately, is commonplace.

This meal is very important for all these children, as it is a vital food before going to school. Messi’s gesture, at the same time, is orchestrated by Juan Gabriel Arias, a missionary who has spent years in Mozambique.

It should be noted that these children have to travel several kilometers to reach the closest school in the area, which is why there is a high illiteracy rate, added to the problems of drought that generate lack of food.

With this campaign called ‘Breakfasts’ by the ‘Leo Messi Foundation’, it is ensured that 15,000 children from 40 different schools receive a daily meal and can attend school, improving directly for a better country, one of the poorest in the world. world.
