OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The purpose of the Didier Drogba Foundation as set out in the objectives contained in the company's memorandum of association continues to be focussed on Health and the provision of education. The foundation will help to improve access to health and education in Ivory Coast.

In 2007, a foundation was founded in Ivory Coast by Didier Drogba for the provision of healthcare and education for the people of Africa. To help support the very ambitious project of building a clinic and maintaining into the foreseeable future, the Didier Drogba foundation was set up in the UK to work with the one in Ivory Coast mainly to help fundraise and create more awareness of the projects in Africa.

The Dider Drogba Foundation aims to provide financial and material support in both health and education. Currently the primary objectives of the charity is to operate a fully functional hospital in Abidjan the capital city of Ivory Coast. The fully functional unit will provide medical and nursing care services to the general public.

The charity will also be operating a mobile clinic that will provide access to very remote areas via a modified vehicle. The mobile clinic is equipped with basic medical facilities that will provide initial support and care to the people living in the remote areas and do not have access to readily available medical facilities.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the company should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Foundation’s work is deeply rooted in solidarity, sharing, and commitment not just as ideals, but as tangible actions that uplift communities across Côte d'Ivoire and beyond.

At the Didier Drogba Foundation, we are deeply convinced that education is a powerful catalyst for individual and community empowerment, and that access to quality healthcare is fundamental to living a dignified and fulfilling life.

This report highlights our key initiatives and accomplishments in the fields of Education and Health across Côte d’Ivoire, building on the momentum of 2024 and continuing our efforts throughout 2025.

1. Education: Empowering Through Access and Equity

- Infrastructure Development: Construction of 12 classrooms, a sports field, and a canteen at Guibéroua High School in partnership with the Japanese Embassy.

- Awareness & Advocacy: Campaigns on gender equality and sexual violence at Goffry High School; celebration of academic excellence at Notre Dame de La Paix.

- Youth Engagement: Inauguration of a synthetic football pitch in Grand-Bassam to promote sports and community.

- Festive Inclusion: Christmas party for 80 children from ENFANTS SANS SIDA, fostering joy and solidarity.

2. Health: Reaching the Vulnerable

- Cardiovascular Screenings:

- Attécoubé (15 March): 261 people screened.

- Palais de Songon (27 September): 1,353 people screened via Mobile Heart Clinic.

- Digital Awareness: Breast cancer campaign led by Frédérique Kragbé reached nearly 150,000 views and boosted social engagement.

- Preventive Focus: Targeting silent killers like heart disease and cancer through education and early detection.

3. Sustainable Development: Restoring and Reimagining

- Environmental Action:

- Partnership with MOI JEU TRI for waste management and eco-awareness.

- Collaboration with RWF FOUNDATION to plant 2,000 mangrove trees in Grand-Lahou.

- Community Engagement: Promoting eco-responsible behavior and inclusive development models

4. CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED

HEALTH PILLAR

- Access to remote populations: Despite successful screening campaigns, reaching rural or isolated areas remains complex

- Insufficient awareness: Some communities remain poorly informed about non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular conditions or breast cancer, limiting their participation in campaigns.

- Limited resources: Although actions have been carried out, human and financial resources are not always sufficient to meet all needs, particularly for regular screenings or medical follow-ups.

EDUCATION PILLAR

- Persistent digital divide: Access to digital tools remains limited for young girls, especially in rural areas, hindering their inclusion in STEM fields.

- Gender inequalities: Social stereotypes and cultural norms continue to obstruct the full participation of girls in education.

- Insufficient school infrastructure: The classroom construction project in Guibéroua highlights the urgent need for adequate educational spaces, as well as the delays and constraints involved in such undertakings.

DIDIER DROGBA FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07068106)

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2024

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PILLAR

- Community mobilisation: Sustained involvement of local populations in environmental projects (such as mangrove planting) requires time, education, and resources.

- Partnerships to strengthen: Some initiatives, like those with MOI JEU TRI, are still in the contractual or pilot phase, slowing their large-scale deployment.

- Environmental awareness: Sustainable development remains an abstract concept for part of the population, making awareness campaigns longer and sometimes less effective.

5. Outlooks

HEALTH PILLAR

- Expand geographical coverage of screening campaigns: Extend outreach to rural and remote areas by mobilising more mobile clinics and community health workers.

- Increase awareness campaigns: Intensify information efforts on non-communicable diseases, especially targeting women and youth, to promote better prevention.

- Operational health center: Complete construction work to make the health center fully functional.

- Train community health workers: Develop training modules for local stakeholders to ensure post-screening follow up and improved care.

EDUCATION PILLAR

- Strengthen infrastructure: Build one school per year to contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 4.

- Promote STEM among girls: Create targeted mentorship programs, science clubs, and scholarships to encourage young girls to pursue careers in technology.

- Large-scale impact: Strengthen partnerships to promote the widespread creation of digital classrooms in schools.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PILLAR

- Institutionalise environmental partnerships: Formalise collaborations with stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of projects.

- Enhance ecological awareness: Integrate environmental education into schools and public campaigns to foster a culture of sustainability from an early age.

CONCLUSION

The year 2024 was marked by significant progress for the Didier Drogba Foundation, which successfully

strengthened its efforts around its three core pillars: education, health, and sustainable development. Through tangible projects, strategic partnerships, and the constant mobilisation of communities, the Foundation demonstrated its ability to respond to urgent needs while laying the groundwork for lasting change.

The challenges encountered, though real, helped to reinforce approaches, refine strategies, and reaffirm the importance of collective commitment. Every action taken, every life touched, every child inspired reflects the human and social impact of our mission.

Driven by the vision of its president, Didier Drogba, the Foundation is committed to continuing its work with

determination, innovation, and solidarity. The outlook for the coming years is ambitious, but it is built on a deep conviction: together, we can build a more equitable, healthier, and more sustainable society.

The Didier Drogba Foundation warmly thanks all its partners, collaborators, and beneficiaries for their trust and commitment. This report is not an end, but the starting point of a renewed momentum toward a better future.
