(Reuters) - French soccer star Kylian Mbappe and Europe's biggest hotel group Accor have entered into a partnership to offer accommodation support for young people, they said on Monday.
The collaboration will provide accommodation and logistical assistance for the youths supported by Mbappe's charity "Inspired by KM" via Accor's distribution platform All.com.
"We are thrilled to join forces with Accor to enhance our efforts in empowering youth. Together, we can make a meaningful difference and foster opportunities for a promising future," the Real Madrid forward said in the joint statement.
The partnership seals a long-term commitment aimed at furthering corporate social responsibility and bolstering Mbappe's initiatives worldwide, Accor said.
Mbappe launched "Inspired by KM" in 2020 as an association aiming to help 98 children in achieving their life goals, according to its website.
