After winning €200 million in December 2020, the 2nd biggest winner in EuroMillions history has decided to donate almost all of his winnings to a foundation dedicated to protecting the environment.
Baptized Anyama, after a town in Côte d'Ivoire where he spent several years of his childhood, this foundation was created by the winner just a year ago, in the greatest discretion, as reported by
Le Parisian
.
Act for the environment
In email exchanges with our colleagues, the donor specifies that his name will never appear in his foundation.
“What matters are the actions supported by Anyama and the positive impact they generate for everyone,” he explains.
While the latest IPCC report puts humanity on notice to act without delay, the one
Le Parisien
dubbed "Mr. Lucky" has taken the lead.
“If nothing is done in this area, all other actions will be in vain.
We will no longer exist, because the planet would become unlivable, ”he told our colleagues.
A new way of life
According to information from Le
Parisien
, the first concrete actions of the Anyama foundation could concern French forests.
Substantial aid should soon be provided to specialized associations in order to bring about a gentle change, without industrial plantations which would be synonymous with counterproductive carbon emissions into the atmosphere.
In addition to the environment, this generous anonymous donor intends to act in the field of health in order, in particular, to support caregivers.
Today “fulfilled”, he has nevertheless seen his lifestyle change.
According to information from Le
Parisien
, he was able to carry out work in his house and acquire a second home.
