Building an orphanage, fighting against discrimination in access to healthcare and promoting sport as an educational tool are some of Roger Milla’s major priorities. The Foundation also actively supports former stars of the indomitable Lions now in financial need to achieve a career switch. On top of his many social and humanitarian projects, Roger Milla hopes to open a special youth training centre for new talents in African football.
